Waste Reduction Month SURVEY

Hello Middle School Families,

This month is Waste Reduction Month at Sunnyside. We are raising awareness and changing our habits about what we send to the landfill. Please take time to sit with your family and take this online survey- https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/B88RQPH

After taking the survey talk about possible changes at home to decrease your family’s waste. Send your student back to school with those ideas so they can share with their class.

Thanks, Indigo’s class
