Newspaper Drive

April 2, 2012

Dear Parent(s),

For the past several years, West Elementary has shown support of our county recycling program by participating in various county-wide newspaper drives. The profits from the drives help fund the recycling trailers in Pottawatomie County.

In conjunction with “Earth Day,” which is April 22, another newspaper drive is scheduled for this month. West students are encouraged to start collecting newspapers now and take them to the marked recycling trailer, located across from the Dutch Mill.

It is important that absolutely no other paper items be included with your newspapers.  Paper items such as magazines, telephone books, junk mail, and children's school papers can be recycled in the other recycling trailers. Also, please remember to remove all paper and plastic sacks and strings.

Students at West will be competing to see which class can collect the most newspapers by April 20, our contest deadline. The winning class will earn a popcorn
