Info for Climb Classes about the Recyling Drive

Cans for Mount Jordan

What?: For 7 weeks this Fall, Mount Jordan students are asked to bring aluminum cans for a recycling drive. The recycle drive begins on Monday, October 6th and ends on Friday, November 21st.

Why?: We’re trying to raise money for an electronic marquee to place on the outside of the school building. The marquee will provide valuable information to students and parents regarding important dates, events and activities. For several years, the PTSA has worked to earn the money for the marquee, and the goal is in sight! This fundraiser is intended to get us closer to the goal and closer to getting your marquee.

How can you help?: Start saving cans now!!! Engage your family, friends and neighbors in collecting cans for Mount Jordan Middle School. Get creative! You might be surprised how your friends and neighbors will support you if you’ll just ask! Approximately 29 cans equal one pound. A pound of aluminum can be redeemed for between 50 and 60 cents. We’re trying to raise $1500.00, and that’s a lot of cans!
