Our school community is invested in repurposing and recycling as much as possible, to foster creativity, reduce waste and encourage good habits. The COPPTA Sustainability Committee is thoughtful about what makes sense to be collected at our school and some partnerships even give back to the school in turn for our efforts!
Every bit counts and we appreciate your support. Look for the collection bins in the front vestibule of the school. Please be mindful about reading descriptions to ensure your donations fulfill any requirements.
