Earth Month! Terracycle / Park Clean up / Gardening update / eWaste event
Fri, Mar 29 8:05pm
  1. “Not sure what to do with your kids' old undies and broken Leapfrog laptop? We’re here to help!” For Earth Month, we'll gladly take this waste off your hands for our Terracycle program: soiled/torn kid's clothes that no one wants, and electronic toys/learning devices, oral care and squeeze pouch waste.  See details below.
  2. Show the park some love! Park Cleanup, Sunday, April 14th (3-4:30) - PS107 families are heading to Prospect Park to collect litter and help keep our park green. See details and sign up here!
  3. Gardening update! Science teacher Barnes and afterschool gardening leads Jonathan and Kristen have worked together to designate the front two planters for PS107 science students to do some gardening! Plans are underway, and they'll be back in touch with any volunteer needs.  We can't wait to see what grows!
  4. Community eWaste event April 28th  - From 10-2pm at John Jay Educational Campus, the LES Ecology Center will be collecting working and non-working e-Waste. See link for details.
