Recycle Right with Milk Program: Parent Information Sheet
Students will work together to collect, empty, and recycle milk cartons daily. At the end of every month, classrooms will have an opportunity to “unlock” an eco-friendly themed *activity for the entire class to participate in. Gaining access to the spin wheel will be dependent on reaching an 80% milk carton recovery rate at the end of each month. Activities will be selected by spinning the wheel.
Recycle Right with Milk Program: Letter to Parents
This letter lets parents know your school has a Recycle Right with Milk Program. *We suggest sending this letter along with the parent information sheet to parents as it allows schools to indicate approximately how much money their child will need per day/week/month to purchase milk at school.
