We have an Artist in the School coming the last week in April!  She is going to try and incorporate  environmental sustainability and responsibility, as well as social justice into her activities with the kids and is asking that everyone collect plastic bottles (dish soap, pop, windex etc., milk containers,sour cream and yogurt containers..) to bring to use.

Thanks!
