Dear Parents,

Data is showing that the 3-4 students are throwing away 3 times or more the trash than the other grade levels.

We are in need of a few parents in the cafeteria on Friday to observe and help the children decide what they should throw away.

If you are able to show up for 30 minutes this Friday (from 11:00 - 11:30) or a few Fridays in the next few weeks, please let contact Pauline Roberts at pr05bps@birmingham.k12.mi.us and let her know.

REDUCING TRASH AT BCS-TRASH FREE FRIDAYST

The Joseph/Roberts (“Joberts”) fifth graders are entering the Siemens We Can Change the World challenge this year. For their project, they are trying to reduce the amount of trash we generate at BCS, focusing particularly on the cafeteria. They would like to initiate “Trash Free Fridays” at BCS and they are asking for your help. Each Friday they will be collecting data after lunch about the amount of trash we generate in the cafeteria.

They would like the students to think about packing a Trash free lunch and have put together the following tips:• Use a lunch box or reusable sack.• Pack a cloth napkin and reusable utensils.• Put food in reusable food and drink containers.• If you must use a disposable plastic bag, wash it out and keep reusing it. • Purchase your snacks in bulk size and repack into individual reusable containers.• Pack fresh fruit since it doesn't require any additional packaging. If you are able to join us for lunch on Fridays, please email Mrs. Roberts at pr05bps@birmingham.k12.mi.us .
