You Otter Know SMALL

Hey Otters and Parents,

Students in Room 25 are collecting milk bags for a special project in partnership with the Clair Hills Retirement Community.

The milk bags you donate will be sent to Clair Hills where residents will weave them into mats. The mats are given to organizations that use them as packaging for shipments being sent to developing countries (e.g. Haiti and Tanzania). The mats are then used again as mattresses, roofing and walls by those in need.

Please note that we are not collecting the clear plastic bags containing milk, but only the outside packaging that holds the three bags of milk (see below).

We hope you have an aMOOzing day!
