3rd grade families, if you are interested in helping your child prepare for GMAS, please take a look at the following resources:
GaDOE - this page has been recently updated with many new resources for families, teachers and students.
Charles Ellis Beta Club is collecting pop-tabs for Ronald McDonald House and plastic bags to make a bench with TREX. Also, they are collecting used books for a library in Africa. Please send in pop tabs, CLEAN plastic bags, and used books with your child and we will make sure that the Beta Club receives them!
DID YOU KNOW...
1. Most clean and dry polyethylene (PE), labeled as #2 or #4, plastic film and bags are recyclable at participating retail and local drop-off locations.
2. Trex® purchases returned consumer bags and film from the majority of grocery and retail stores in the U.S., making Trex® the largest PE film recycler in the United States.
3, Trex's premium composite decking is made from recycled grocery bags and other plastic film.
4.These materials are not normally accepted in curbside programs because they can get caught in the machines that sort other valuable recyclables like paper, cans, and bottles. And bags are generally too dirty after their trip in the back of the recycling truck to be recycled, even if they are collected at the recycling facility.
Charles Ellis students have been invited to participate in a wonderful new program set up by the Forsyth Farmers Market. Students and families can go to the Forsyth Farmers Market every Saturday until May 20th to visit the new Youth Booth. Every student that visits the Youth Booth will get a $5 token to spend on produce. The children will also get a passport that will be stamped each time they visit! This is an exciting opportunity for the children, so let's please spread the word!
