NJHS Recycling Project

The Junior High student council is sponsoring a recycling fair on April 21st at the city park. They are doing this to raise awareness in our community of how easy it is to recycle and how much it helps our planet. They are not purchasing any new materials to use for advertising. Instead they are looking for gently used large paper or possibly card stock that can be turned over or altered and used again.Perhaps, you have made posters or used large easel paper that we can use the other side of. If you have anything that you think they can use, please send it to Krista Lingrell at CO or me at the Junior High. Please also plan to attend the Recycling fair. There will be free food, children's games and plenty of information for you to start or continue to help save our planet for the generations to come. Thanks

Mrs. Poppel
