Elmer's Glue Recycling Program

Hello everyone!

In an effort to add to our recycling program, I have joined us in the Elmer's Glue Recycling Program. All this entails from you is that any time you finish off a bottle of Elmer's Glue or a glue stick, you need to bring it to me in Room 216. I will have a box specifically designated to this product (to go along with the recycled cardboard and paper that we currently do). I will handle the cleaning and forwarding of the empty containers myself, unless there are a few students that would like to help with this.

Thank you so much!

Mrs. Vigue
