Recycle your markers! District 3 is now participating in the Crayola Colorcycle program! There are now boxes set up at ARS, FRGMS, and FRG Library where old markers can be deposited. Once we gather a full box, Crayola will pay for us to ship them back and they will recycle them! Any plastic marker can be recycled, including washable markers, highlighters, permanent markers, and dry erase markers. So don't throw away those old markers at home! Have your child bring them into school so that they can be recycled - boxes will be out for the remainder of the school year!
