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!
