Farm to School Sample Day - Cucumber Yogurt Dip

On Tuesday, June 11 our Farm to School volunteers served the last sample of the year - cucumber yogurt dip - to elementary students. Not everyone liked it, but those that did LOVED it! “If I had 50 thumbs up I would give it!” “Best one yet!” “Yum!” “Amazing!”

Thank you so much to everyone that made the Farm to School sample program possible this year - our volunteers that served samples, the CES kitchen staff, Farm to School Mohawk Valley, Cornell Cooperative Extension, OHM BOCES, and of course, the students for being so excited to try new food!

Crayon and Marker Recycling

As the end of the school year approaches, teachers and students will likely be looking to dispose of lots of used school supplies.

Rather than throwing them out, the following items can be dropped off in the bins located near the front entrance of the elementary school.

  • Crayons
  • Markers
  • Highlighters
  • Dry Erase Markers

The used crayons will be sent off to The Crayon Initiative to be recycled into new crayons that will be donated to children's hospitals!

Markers will be shipped to Crayola for recycling.

Thank you for helping to keep these items out of the landfills!

LEAP Recycling For Charity
The high school's LEAP Club (Leaders in Environmental Awareness and Protection) is proud to announce a new recycling initiative for personal hygiene/beauty products and packaging. For each item that that we recycle, we will earn money towards a charity that digs wells for communities in developing nations. If everyone in our district contributes 20 items, the profits will provide 200 people with a year's worth of clean drinking water. Place your used products and empty containers in the collection boxes in the high school office, middle school office, and elementary school hallway (beside the boxtop collection box) to alleviate thirst and keep these items out of our landfill!

Accepted Used Items
  • Toothbrushes
  • Toothpaste tubes and caps
  • Floss containers
  • Deodorant containers and caps
  • Hair product tubes and caps
  • Soap/lotion/shampoo dispensers
  • Hair spray triggers
  • Chapstick/lipstick tubes and caps
  • Bar-soap wrappers
  • Make-up tubes (mascara, concealer, etc.)
  • Make-up cases (eyeshadow, bronzer, powder, etc.)
  • Foundation packaging
  • Make-up pencils
Thank you for your participation!
