Great news from environmental news!
The white lunch trays can now be recycled with the brown paper trays! Please stack your white and brown lunch trays and drop them into the black, rectangular bins around campus!

Environmental news is spreading the word that dead batteries can pollute the environment if they are thrown in the garbage. Please bring your dead batteries from your class or from home to the office so they can be properly recycled! Thanks!
