For making a difference in your community.
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
Jefferson Elementary School 5th &
6th grade classes hosted a “forever green” donation drive
January 25 through the 29th, 2010. They donated over 900
pounds of clothing and household items to Goodwill
that otherwise might have ended up in the landfill.
Brenda Pyle, a senior at South Medford High School
coordinated the drive and did a presentation for the
students about Goodwill and the importance of recycling as
part of her senior project. The students proved they got the
message by filling the Goodwill bins to the max. Mike
McGoffins’s class lead the competition by collecting a
whopping 435 pounds. The class will receive an official
Goodwill tour to learn more about how their donations change
lives in the community.
This was a wonderful opportunity for students to learn
the importance of “going green” and the role they play
through community service in making their community a better
place.
A heartfelt Thank You to Principal Tom Sherwood, Mr.
Mc Goffin, Mrs. Spears, Ms. Lightle, Mr. Mc Candless, Mrs.
Humble and all the students and families for their
participation and generosity
