St. Edward’s Recycling Program

 

This Wednesday, October 22 will be our seventh recycling date. For every recyclable collected St. Edward’s earns 10 cents. Last year our school collected over 164, 000 items. Money earned from our recycling program assisted our school in purchasing much needed computer hardware for our school’s Resource Center . Thank you so much for your tremendous support! We look forward to further improvements at our school as we raise more money. Most important of all our school community is working together to help keep our environment clean!

 

We hope that EVERY family at St. Edward’s can try to donate at least 10 items weekly and please keep in mind the following:
