The Donut Party for Mr. Reno's Climb Class

The class has Jordan and Ciera to thank for single-handedly bringing home the prize. A BIG thank you goes to Harmons for providing the donuts and juice for the occasion. Great Job, Students!!!!

185 pounds of Cans

...in case you are curious...this is what 185 pounds of cans looks like. These are all of the cans from one collection day on the scale at the recycle center.

FINAL RESULTS OF THE CAN DRIVE....

I'm so proud of all of the Mount Jordan Middle School Students!!!! You have all worked so very hard. YOU save 20,130 cans from going into the landfill!!! That is incredible. Ok, now on to what you really want to know....who won.

No shocker, the 7th Graders KILLED the 8th and 9th Graders. In fact, if you would add all of the cans that the 8th and 9th Graders brought in...then DOUBLE it, the 7th Graders still would have won!!! EXCELLENT. You'll be rewarded with candy bars tomorrow during CLIMB.

Here is how the numbers stacked up:

We had some phenomenal contributions from key individuals, and because of the effort of two young ladies, Mr. Reno's class wins the dount party!! Congratulations. Mrs. Mumford's class deserves an honorable mention.

Here is how the class competition stacked up:

Individual Winners:

Ciera A. in Mr. Reno's class is the grand prize winner with 2822 cans.

Jordan W. in Mr. Reno's class is the 2nd place winner with 2637.

Paula M. in Mrs. Alford's Class and Chet P. in Mumford's Class each deserve big honorable mentions. They brought in 1794 and 1650 cans, respectively.

Awards will be given on Tuesday, November 25th during CLIMB.

Well done students!!!

Results from November 14th

Ok, guys...this was a slim week for the cans.

We have one more week to go, and let's make this last week the best week ever.Jordan W. brought the most cans last week, and is in the overall lead total for the $100 prize.

Chet P. in Mumford's class is still in the hunt for the $100 prize. Ciera A. (also in Mr. Reno's class) brought in a lot of cans as well.

The last collection day will be Monday, November 24th, and the prizes will be handed out before Thanksgiving. Keep up the great work!!!

The 7th Graders are still in the lead, and they've been consistent each week. This is how the race for the grade prize looks:

Mumford and Reno are neck and neck for the donut party. Here is how that looks:

Extra, Extra...Results of the Third Can Collection

Well, you Mount Jordan Middle School Students should be very proud of yourselves. Each week, you keep bringing more cans! Great job.

This week, we had almost 5,000 cans!!! To-date, we've collected 12,816 cans! Way to go! Those are cans that don't go in the land fills. Here is a thought....Recycling one aluminum can save enough energy to run a television for three hours. The energy conserved by recycling our cans has successfully enabled televisions to run for 38,448 hours...and that's a lot of TV.

So, here's how it breaks down. The 7th Grade is in the lead...and it's a BIG lead. They have 7,835 cans. A distant second is the 9th Grade with 2,993 cans, and the 8th Grade is in third place with 1,980 cans. Here's how it looks:

The class in the lead is Mrs. Mumford's Class with 2,377 cans. Holyoak is not far behind. Reno, Washburn, Soriano, Alford and Otterstrom are all in the race for the class prize...a donut party before Thanksgiving break. Here is the CLIMB Class chart:

Chet P. in Mrs. Mumford's class brought in 1,200 cans and is now in the lead with 1,650 cans total. Jordan W. (our mega-star from last week) is not far behind with 1,540 cans. Anyone can still win. There are three weeks left and two collection dates. There are over 30 students who have contributed 100 cans or more! That's a phenomenal effort, and you're making a difference.

Keep up the great work!

Correction to Week 2 Results: Kudos to Jordan W. in Mr. Reno's Class

Due to an administrative error, we failed to recognize the GREAT contribution of Jordan W. She single-handedly (with some help from her mom) contributed 1,540 cans! Wooo-hooo!!!! Please accept our apologies for this mistake.

This dramatically changes the competition. The 7th Graders are still in the lead, and might we say that they have a commanding lead.

This contribution also puts Mr. Reno's class in the lead with...you guessed it....1,540 cans. Mrs. Holyoak's class is very close behind with 1,408 cans, and Mrs. Washburn is not far behind with 1,270 cans. There are THREE more weeks left in the contest, so any class can win. Jordan has proven the effect that one student can have. And, in case there was any doubt, she is in the lead!!! Remember, there is a $100.00 prize at stake. She is killing the competition, so if you want to be in the game, you need to get collecting.

Here are some ideas:

1. Ask your neighbors to collect their cans for you and agree on a day of the week that you'll pick them up.
   
2. Ask people at your church who might be interested in doing the same (see number 1)


3. If your parent doesn't have a recycle program at work, ask if they'll take in a bag to work and make a sign for the lunchroom, break room or the vending machine space.


4. Have your parents spread the word. This is a way for people to help you out without having to buy anything or give money.


5. Ask your relatives who live in the area to collect cans and get your parents to help you collect them on a designated day.
