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.

Here are the NEW and REVISED charts to show the grade totals and the class totals
