Elmers Glue Crew

Did you know that if you add all the glue sticks and bottles from the supply lists for this year, it would add up to be 1376 glue sticks and 80 glue bottles (based on last year's enrollment)?!!!

Collect empty glue sticks and bottles (they do not have to be Elmer's brand) from now until the end of the school year. The school will receive 2 cents from Terracycle for each item collected. Last year we collected 520 glue sticks and no bottles. Good work, but I know we can beat that this year!

If you use these items at home, please clean the empty bottles and send them to your child's classroom. The class that collects the most from each of the following groups will get an ice cream party!

• K, 1st, and 2nd
• 3rd, 4th, and 5th
• 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th
  

The contest ends on Earth Day, but we will collect them through the end of the year.
