January 22, 2009 No Waste Lunch - Way to go! Today's "No Waste Lunch" resulted in reducing the amount of garbage generated from 14 bags down to 10 bags! Congratulations to the students for reducing the amount of garbage going to the landfills. Sangster will be holding another "No Waste Lunch" in the future - so be on the lookout for the flyers.

Sangster's Cool the Earth Program is having a Planning Meeting on Thursday, November 5th at 6:15PM in room R4 (before the PTA meeting).

We need a few VOLUNTEERS to help run our new Cool the Earth program.  This new program teaches our kids about the effects of global warming and how we can take actions to reduce our carbon footprint and therefore reduce global warming. We need people to:

  • Collect Actions Coupons weekly

  • Help run the Action of the Month activities (4 of them)

  • Copy Flyers

  • Hand-out Action Coupons to the Kids

  • Distribute Trading Cards and Prizes

Please contact Monica Grose at vp@sangsterpta.org or 703 440-3716 to sign up. You can learn more about Cool the Earth on their web site: http://www.cooltheearth.org/
