NEW this year is a fundraiser to help keep Lawton GREEN. Last year Mrs. Misner’s and Mrs. Ulmer’s 5th grade classes completed an interesting classroom project. They collected plastic bags from Lawton’s lunchroom garbage to see how many disposable bags were used by our students. In one day, they collected 186 bags. In one week, they collected 930 bags. The bags they collected for the week were stapled together and the plastic bag string circled the lunchroom TWICE !! Using these collection figures and multiplying by actual school days, Lawton could use 32,922 disposable plastic bags… What an eye opening figure. Since Lawton learners are always looking for new ways to reduce our environmental impact, we looked for a fundraiser to support our waste reduction goals. We found ReUsies.

ReUsies are reusable bags. They come in sandwich and snack size and are 100% cotton, lined with water-resistant 100% nylon (BPA, Lead and Phthalate free). They come with Velcro closures that are kid-friendly and ensure that the food won’t fall out. ReUsies can be machine washed and dried, washed in the dishwasher, or for longest life simply wiped clean with a soapy sponge and air dried.
Please see the attached flyer for more details and to place your order. You can also use the form to sell them to family and friends. ReUsies make great birthday or holiday gifts ! The Lawton PTA will receive 50% of each bag sold. Better yet, think of all the disposable plastic bags that we’re keeping out of the landfill. Please put your completed ReUsies order forms and checks collected in the ReUsies Fundraiser box in the office. Order deadline is September 29, 2010. Orders will be delivered by kidmail to your child a few weeks following the conclusion of the sale. Questions? Contact Kimball Mullins at 206.321.1418 or kimball_mullins@yahoo.com
