Eco Store - Friday April 5
2019-04-05
The Eco Store will be taking place in the gymnasium on April 5. For student who are participating, we recommending sending your child with $1-$2. Money raised from the Eco Store will be used to help supplement the costs of some of the club’s initiatives and to support Eco efforts worldwide.We are hoping every-one will take advantage of this opportunity to participate in both donating items and purchasing “new” items to take home and enjoy. When you buy items second hand, you are making good use of something that may other-wise have been thrown away. A great lesson for future consumers.
