Reusing Paper

On any given week, you'll find a monster pile of paper by the printer in the library. The sad thing is that these sheets have print on one side and nothing on the back. Students and staff make mistakes when printing a job and sometimes we just don't check to see if there is a more efficient way of printing what we need without having the printer spit out sheets of unwanted paper. What to do?
Mr. Knierim has been on a mission to educate staff and students about using the printer more responsibly. The Green Team is jumping on that wagon and we will be starting a series of public service announcements soon.
Ginnie from the School Council had the fantastic idea of turning the unwanted paper into notepads for staff and students. Today, the Primary Green Team got cracking.
Mme. Trott and some wonderful Grade 1 students began attacking the paper pile during morning recess. Those little hands were busy cutting sheets of paper into quarters. Great to have a Green Team meeting in French. Merci!
Coming soon - hand-crafted notepads!

Thanks again to our intrepid Juniors for making quick work of the recycling disposal. Hurrah!
