Yesterday was the first day we started collecting supplies from 31 area schools in order to donate them to Chicago Public Schools. Our first stop was Ranchview Elementary School in Naperville. This is the first time Ranchview has participated in our 'Go Green' recycling program.
Let's put it this way, I didn't have nearly enough room in my vehicle to get all of the supplies!!! I will need a 16' truck just to get the many, many boxes of supplies set aside for us at Ranchview. Needless to say, I was thrilled to see the mountain of supplies being donated by the teachers and students.
After the holiday weekend I will head back to Ranchview and then move on to collect supplies at Lockport East H.S. and Lockport Central H.S. Yes, these Lockport schools are the same ones who have had a big hand in raising funds for IMN School in Darbonne, Haiti.
I will be sure to post some photos of our 'Go Green' collections over the next couple of weeks.

Glad that more students are learning the value of recycling and protecting the environment. Which reminds me of a school where the students on $100000 as a reward for recycling. Learned about it through this video. http://youtu.be/2T3fZAQ3Bk0
