Ink Cartridge Recycling

A simple way to contribute to our school while being environmentally friendly is to bring in your old ink or toner cartridges. We have a container for them in the MPR near the door to the teacher's lounge. We take them to Staples for Staples reward money.
Last year we raised enough money to provide for all of the PTA paper supplies! Please consider if you know anybody who can get them from work as well. We are hoping to increase the number that we bring in due to Staples decreasing the amount rewarded for each cartridge. Thanks for your support!

A Message from the PTA President - Julie Fretwell, November 2010

Well it’s November already and the holidays are coming up fast! We had a great PTA meeting in October with guest speakers from our Art Masters program. Parents got a little insight on what artists are studied and how the different grade levels get to use the styles of those artists to create their own masterpieces. It was very informative and fun! At our next meeting the topic will be the Del Cerro computer lab. You won’t want to miss it! Hopefully everyone will be taking advantage of your parent/teacher conferences. We will be sending your PTA receipts to your teachers to include with your child’s school work packet. Please keep these receipts handy. It will list all of the items that you have sent in money for that is sponsored by the PTA such as membership, science lab fees, yearbooks and spirit wear. Our annual Fall Book Fair will also be going on during conference week. Stop by and take a look at what’s new and pick up a few books. This is a great way for not only our students to purchase books, but it helps earn books for our school library in  addition to raising money to contribute to the many programs PTA sponsors. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at president@delcerro.org.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Julie Fretwell-President Del Cerro PTA
