Park School 4,466
Park’s Middle Division smashed our 4,125 canceled catalogs record from two years back, and I’m giddy to report that 170 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders canceled 4,466 unwanted sales catalogs. 38 kids canceled 60 or more to get a One Tree Club patch. Several canceled 120 and will get the Two Tree Club patch! Two others are in the Eight and Nine Tree Club (see post below).
Our efforts will stop 26,796 catalogs from being made and mailed in the next 12 months (assuming 1 cancellation stops 6 future catalogs from production) and will save 74 trees! This will also save a tremendous amount of water (75,000 gallons) and energy use (3 “cars worth” of CO2 stopped).
Borrowing an idea from Shady Hill teacher, Drew Mckay, 12 Park teachers told the kids we’d dye our hair green or wear green wigs for a day if they could break the old record. And now they have. Uggg.
Enjoy a slide show about our CCC. Green hair to be added next Tuesday!
