Did you know that strands of holiday lights are recyclable?  Instead of throwing your broken strands of holiday lights in the trash can, bring the strands to NES and put them in the collection box in the front lobby.  Mrs. te Plate, PTA Green Committee Chair, will be bringing the broken strands to the Alpha Ridge Recycling Center for proper recycling. We will be collecting strings of lights through January.  Also, we are still collecting pieces of styrofoam (not the styrofoam peanuts) so if you have received any packages with styrofoam pieces, please recycle them in the boxes in the lobby.  Thanks for supporting our recycling efforts!
