Green Team
Earth Day is this Monday! Celebrate with CP's Green Team:
Your CP Green Team would like to let you know more about the recycling programs that we run at school through Terracycle. These programs allow us to recycle items that cannot be recycled at home, and help us raise money for green initiatives at our school!
We need everyone who participates to make sure they only bring in items that we accept, and to make sure items are empty and clean.
Drop off your recycling in the containers at the main entrance!
Find out more about Terracycle on their website: https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/
Lost and Found
Our last and found is overflowing!!! At last count we had 98 hoodies, jackets, winter coats, shirts, sweaters, etc. We also have multiple crates of hats, scarves, gloves, boots, water bottles, and other miscellaneous items. Please look through our lost and found when you have a chance.

The CP Student Council is collecting items for the Hinsdale Humane Society. Here is a list of items from their Wish List...
