A few notes that are different for Day of Service:
*Please sign up for EACH SPOT you will need. For example, if one parent is accompanying 3 children, please sign up for FOUR spots. Some organizations have strict limits on how many people they can accommodate.

WHAT:
WUES is partnering with Undies for Everyone to help collect underwear for those in need. Kids will learn how they can help other kids who may not have clean underwear to wear daily.
WHERE:
Collections will take place in each classroom and will be taken to the MPR/Cafeteria for sorting daily.
WHEN:
The collection will take place the week of Monday, April 13th - Friday, April 17th.
WHY:
Undies for Everyone is a nonprofit charitable organization in Houston that provides clean, new underwear to Houston and Dallas people in need.
WHAT:
ColorCycle and the Crayon Initiative -- Throughout the year, classrooms will collect “worn out” markers and crayons and send them off to be recycled. Families are also invited to send expired markers and crayons to school for recycling, as well!
WHERE:
Collections will take place in each classroom and will be brought to the office collection box periodically.
WHEN:
Ongoing throughout the year
WHY:
Crayola and schools across North America are banding together to help kids understand the importance of their role in protecting the environment. Crayola ColorCycle helps students in K-12 schools across the continental United States and parts of Canada can collect and repurpose used Crayola markers. ColorCycle is also a great opportunity for teachers and their students to explore eco-friendly practices.
The Crayon Initiative organizes crayon collections that take unwanted crayons, remanufactures them, and provides them to hospitals that are caring for our kids. The Crayon Initiative supports environmental efforts by diverting crayons from the landfills.
