Recycle Clean Plastic Bags

1/9/2020

 
​Dear Waters families,

Our parent Art/ESL class is beginning a project which seeks to protect our environment.  The project is called N.L.F.O.B. which means New Life for Old bags.  Parents will crochet the recycled bags into mats for our kindergarten students to sit on during story time.  Many bags are needed and we are asking you to please help by donating clean, plastic grocery bags (or plastic bags of similar size).  You may drop off the donated bags in our school main office from now through Friday, February 14th.

If you would like to help us crochet (we'll be happy to show you how) please join us anytime on Thursday mornings, 8:30 am - 10:00 in the teachers lounge.  We welcome your participation!

Sincerely,
Noelle Garcia, Victoria Mendoza and Rachel Stemple

Queridas familias de Waters:
Nuestra clase de padres de Arte / ESL está comenzando un proyecto que busca proteger nuestro medio ambiente. El proyecto se llama N.L.F.O.B. lo que significa "New Life for Old Bags" (Nueva Vida Para Bolsas Viejas). Los padres tejerán las bolsas recicladas en esteras para que nuestros alumnos en el jardín de infancia se sienten durante la hora del cuento. Se necesitanmuchas bolsas y le pedimos que nos ayude con donando bolsas de plástico limpias (o bolsas de plástico de tamaño similar). Puede dejar las bolsas donadas en la oficina principal de nuestra escuela empezando desde ahora hasta el viernes 14 de febrero.
Si desea ayudarnos a tejer (estaremos encantados de mostrarle cómo), únase a nosotros en cualquier momento los jueves por la mañana, de 8:30 a.m. a 10:00 en la sala de maestros. ¡Agradecemos su participación!


Sinceramente,

Noelle Garcia, Victoria Mendoza and Rachel Stemple
