Fwd: We Need Clothes!

This year Crockers Green Team is doing a clothing swap for Earth Week. This helps promote and support Earth Week by reducing textile waste in landfills, lowering carbon emissions, and conserving water and energy used in manufacturing new clothes.

What does this mean for you?!  You have the opportunity to go through your clothes that don't fit you (or your style anymore) and bring them to school to be part of the swap.  On Thursday 4/16 during lunch recess we will have tables set up and students can peruse through and anything you like, you can take!  You never know you may find some treasures.

TO BRING IN CLOTHES:

Who: You

What: Clothes

When: Monday and Tuesday

Where: P2

How: In a bag labeled with your grade level

Why: To earn class comp points (5 points per article of clothing)

Thank you in advance for your participation!

8th-grade Lunch seating Update after Spring Break

Good morning, Crocker,

Over spring break, PG&E and the Blach Construction Co. will be working on adding additional power to the school in preparation for the construction project that starts in June. As a result, the lower grass area may shrink a bit for the remainder of the school year, starting April 6.

Eighth-grade students who typically sit in that area during lunch may need to find an alternative place to sit. To help accommodate this change, we will move additional tables to the upper lunch area so there is adequate seating for additional students.

Thank you for your flexibility and cooperation as we prepare for the upcoming construction work.
