FEED The Lorax!

Rockwells Conservation Project
Inspired by Dr. Seusss The Lorax Bring your returnable, non-alcoholic cans and plastic bottles to school and feed them to The Lorax. All containers collected will be returned, and the funds earned will be used to beautify, improve, or protect the environment at Rockwell School. Things to remember when sending in bottles & cans: Please rinse out containers. While our efforts are to protect Mother Earth, we dont want to attract any of her precious creepy crawlies into the school. Please do not send in glass or alcoholic beverage containers. ***** The Lorax will be with us from Monday, February 25th May 17th. So, dont forget to Feed The Lorax! (See the picture of the Lorax that students will feed in the front lobby on pg. 4!)
