Our recess & lunch trash container numbers remain low this school year as we use one large recycling container and need only one regular trash container. Please remember all snacks and lunches are brought to school in lunch containers, not paper or plastic bags. This assists our recycling efforts and maintains a healthier environment for everyone’s food as well. Using items inside the lunch container that can be washed and used repeatedly is a great assistance in our effort to reduce the amount of regular trash too. Please assist your student(s) in recognizing the many lunch food containers that can be recycled. Students who purchase lunch from TDT Catering can recycle the bag, plate, or container the food was served in, and the water bottle. Students who bring lunch, often have box or pouch drinks, cardboard containers, plastic yogurt containers, etc.

SLE A3 suggests that SHS graduates will be maturing Catholics as they, “Live their faith by identifying and responding to the needs of self and others.” The last section of our Schoolwide Learning Expectations (SLEs) suggest that as socially maturing individuals, SHS graduates:

1. Accept and respect all of God’s gifts.

2. Assume responsibility for their words and actions.

3. Show respect and concern for self and others.

4. Develop strategies for dealing with opportunities and challenges.

5. Demonstrate leadership qualities.

Our effort to recycle at school, at home, and in our communities helps our students to grow as Christians and as individuals while protecting God’s beautiful Earth.
