The Environmental Biology class at AHS will be collecting empty Taco Bell packets, dry or old (Crayola) Markers and old batteries. We have been studying the importance of recycling and the impact trash can have on the Earth. Next week, we will have collection boxes located near the 3 offices (High School, Elementary and District). Since Earth Day is April 22nd collection boxes will be out all week from April 18-22! Please help us out by spreading the word and bringing these items for recycling! If you have any questions feel free to reach out to Mrs. Kessler, akessler@arcolaschools.com.
