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.
