Green Team on Morning Announcements

This week began the 1st of our Zero Hour Green Team’s "Reminders." Many students were seeing that classmates were putting all types of snack wrappers in their classroom recycle bin after snack time. They wanted to remind all CRES Otters that -unfortunately the wrapper on those prepackaged snacks has to placed in the garbage. Try a few of your favorite snacks, bought in bulk, then brought to school in a reusable container!
