J.B. Watkins is excited to be participating in Crayola ColorCycle this June — an amazing new program devised to turn used markers into energy!
Markers that are ready to be discarded will be sent to a facility where they will be converted into clean fuel. This fuel can be used to power vehicles, heat homes, cook meals, and more!
Please help support our efforts by sending your kids in with any used plastic markers, highlighters, dry erase markers, or sharpies you may have around the house — even non-Crayola brands. Please do not send in any pens. A drop-off box will be located in the main lobby for your child to deposit the markers through the end of school.
Thank you in advance for participating! With the help of parents like you, the Crayola ColorCycle program can keep tons of plastic out of landfills each year.
Remember, don’t throw out that used marker — ColorCycle it!
We’re excited to welcome Dr. Javaid Siddiqi, our Midlothian School Board Representative, to our final PTA meeting on June 5. Please RSVP fill out the survey at http://bit.ly/JBWJunePTA to lend your voice to what topics should be covered.
Due to low ticket sales and a lack of volunteers, the Spring Fling scheduled for Friday, May 18th is cancelled. Refunds will be made to families who have already purchased tickets.
