Marker Recycling in the Library
Students of Summit Elementary, please recycle your dried out markers (any color, any brand) in the plastic marker recycle can in the library. Your markers help the brand Crayola make more colorful markers for you and other kids. When you have used markers put them in a ziploc bag and bring them to school. Ask your teacher if you can go to the library and drop them off. Thanks – Girl Scout Troop 1446, 5th Grade
