Keep sending in your plastic bottle caps for our Student Council project to build a “buddy bench” in the elementary playground. We’re now at the half-way point in the collection effort, with two more weeks remaining to send in bottle caps by Friday, May 31. The elementary classes are competing to see which class can bring in the MOST bottle caps by weight. As of May 13, Miss Price’s kindergarten class is in the lead with 10.53 pounds and Miss Reilly’s kindergarten class is in second place with 9.25 pounds.
Among the 6th-12th grade classes, the winning class will be the homeroom with the LEAST amount of caps in their own container — accomplished by bringing in caps and placing them in the containers of OTHER homerooms. Currently Miss Stonelake’s homeroom is in the lead with a total cap weight of .38 pounds. Each winning class will get a pizza party.
Student Council Advisor and faculty member Dave Genter said that 68.06 pounds of bottle caps have been collected school-wide as of May 13, and that 400 pounds of caps will be needed to build the buddy bench. CLICK HERE for an official list of caps and lids which can be donated.
