Not to be dramatic, but....
there is a bag of cans in your garage that could be doing more.
Like… earning 20% extra for Arleta during Earth Week.
Looking at YOU.
Yes, YOU with the bags in the garage.

Grab a Blue Bag, fill it up, and drop it off between April 15–26.
Easy win for the planet and for Arleta.

Optional Picture Day

There once was a picture day new,
With backgrounds you actually choose.
On April seventeen,
Strike a pose in between,
Or skip it it’s totally up to you!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! A Royal Decree from the Kingdom of First Grade!

Let it be known across the land that the First Graders prepare their grand parade floats… and require metal jar lids to fashion their mighty wheels!

Bring forth thy treasures
From sauce jars, pickle jars, jam jars, pepper jars, even peanut butter jars
If it be glass, and crowned with metal, it shall serve the realm!

Deliver thy offerings to the collection tote at the entrance of the main hall, or send them directly to Teacher Katherine.

The kingdom shall gather lids through the month of May.

Go forth, noble recyclers, and aid the First Graders in their quest!

(We are collecting jar lids through May for our first grade floats)

You didn’t forget about those cans.
You were just… letting them appreciate in value.
To the person who hasn’t taken them in yet
Congrats. You accidentally made them 20% more valuable.
Cash them in during Earth Week (April 15-26) and earn 20% more for Arleta.

Honestly? Brilliant.
