Earth day is Saturday! We have a bin outside the library door to recycle plastic bags. Ms. Jones has also requested other recyclable materials as well to use in Art and the Makerspace. We are no longer collecting bottle caps and hope to start our mural on Monday! Do something good for the earth this weekend! 🌎
