Thank you for supporting the recycling efforts at NCS!

Earth Day 2011

The Recycling Committee needs your help! We are collecting clean, used t-shirts to cut up and repurpose for the kids for Earth Day. We have collected 200, but still need 200 more. If you have some to send, please send them to your teachers letting them know what they are for.

We also need help on Earth Day, April 15th, to help with set-up, clean-up, and the day's activities. Please contact Sue Wilson at billsue92@live.com if you can help.
