Have a safe and happy holiday break! xoxo-Olive PTA
Ecology Club: The Ecology Club Members would like to extend warm holiday wishes to the entire Olive Family! If you are looking forward to spending some quality time crafting or gift wrapping, don't forget that our wonderful EcOWLogists, in partnership with Terracycle, are collecting empty glue sticks and bottles as well as empty tape dispensers and cores to gather points for the school and to make a difference! Drop off these items when classes resume by Agent O's corner (right next to the elevator in the Commons).
Also, click here for a couple of ideas for a few fun, easy and cheerful holiday crafts that are all made from recycled materials - our small way of saying ''Thank you for caring and choosing to be green!"
