Be Green - Earn Green
NEW PROGRAM - St. Johns is collecting Capri Sun & Kool Aid brand drink pouches for an upcycling project with TerraCycle (TerraCycle creates pencil cases, purses, etc from the pouches - you may have seen them at several stores in town). For each pouch sent in we will receive $ .02. Students and staff can deposit empty pouches in the collection bin in the cafeteria. No need to rinse, simply remove straws & deposit in box. Pouches sent in from home - should be placed in a plastic bag to control the spread of residual juice. Janine Gaynier will be coordinating this project.
UPDATE -- (2/16/10) Another shipment has been prepared for refund of $50, which means we have collected nearly $100 or 5000 pouches! - way to go!
Ronald McDonald Pop Tab Collections
St. John School participates in this program, not for financial gain, but for charities to assist with families in their time of need. Each year, over 500 families stay at the Ronald McDonald House, most at no cost at all to the families, while their children receive medical care in Toledo. Due to the efforts of many organizations around the Northwest Toledo and Southeastern Michigan Areas, over 27,000 pounds of pop tabs were collected in 2007, which enabled the Ronald McDonald House Charities to feed all of their guests at no charge! All of this, because you took the time to pull the tab off your soda can! This is definitely a well deserved charity that St John School plans to continue to support for many years to come.
For the 2008-2009 school year, we collected 140 pounds worth of pop tabs - Great Job!
2009-2010 totals are as follows:
