OMS Locker Clean Out

All of this paper was  saved from the trash bin during the
2015 Locker Clean out
Each Spring the Green Team heads up the Locker Clean Out at the Oliver Middle School.  Volunteers get together and work with students as they clean out their lockers at the end of the year.  Instead of tossing out school supplies the student no longer wants, the Green Team steps in to show them how recycling is the best way to go.  The students are first told that they should bring home any materials they may need for the following year.  Anything they truly do not want, but can be salvaged, is then taken by our volunteers, sorted, and handed over to the school to help students who may not be able to purchase supplies for the next school year.  Many stacks of paper, binders, folders and more have been saved from the trash bin!
