October 1st, 2008 – March 31st, 2009 - Abitibi Paper Challenge
Abtibi Consolidated picks up our paper to be recycled and pays our school for it! The program is called “Abitibi Paper Retriever” and if we meet our challenge, we will receive extra cash!  Please consider bringing your paper products (paper, catalogs, magazines, telephone books) to be recycled to our dumpster on the north side of the school near the Rockenbaugh Native Garden and Wildlife Sanctuary.  Please do not bring cardboard.  Shredded paper should be in clear plastic bags.  If you own a company, we would love to have your paper to recycle.
