Wonder bread bag recycling program
Bread bag and plastic tag recycling has begun. You can drop your empty bread bags or plastic bread tags in the collection boxes in the front office or give to your child to bring in to the collection box in the school. Bread bags can be any brand, as long as they are clean of any bread/crumbs.
The more bread bags we collect the more points we can earn to be used for sports equipment at our school.
