JB Watkins PTA

Now that school is in full swing, the recycling bins are back in the cafeteria! First through fifth grade students have already started recycling items from their lunches, and kindergarteners will join soon after they participate in a recycling presentation. Parents are encouraged to help teach students what can and can’t be recycled by volunteering for Lunch Buddies.  The signup to volunteer in October is here. It’s always available on our Lunch Buddies page!
Please talk to your children about the following important reminders:

• Common recyclable items include: milk cartons, juice boxes, aluminum cans, rigid plastic food containers, and plastic water bottles.
• Common lunch items that go in the trash include: food waste, styrofoam trays, plastic bags, film plastic, chips bags, soiled napkins, plastic utensils, and straws.
• Before clean-up time, students should take out the straws from their drinks and remove all lids from plastic food containers.
• All liquids and food should be dumped into the trash before recycling.

Every bit we keep out of the landfill helps! Thank you!

We’re really excited for the 2019 Pumpkin Lighting on October 18. This is one of our most popular events, when the Coalminer community comes together to celebrate fall. We’ll have pumpkins from each class, costumes, and all kinds of fun activities!

Volunteers

First of all, we need a lot of volunteers to make this event successful. You don’t have to sign up for the whole night. Just volunteer one shift and enjoy the rest of the festivities with your family. Without enough volunteers, we won’t be able to have the event.
