Metal Recycling returns to Our Lady of Lourdes
To celebrate Earth Week, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School is offering the community the opportunity to dispose of unwanted metal recycling items. The bin will arrive at the school on the afternoon of April 26th and will be picked up the morning of May 7th. The top to the bin will be open so small items can be put in at anytime. If you have large or heavy items please drop them off during school hours. Please refer to the list your children brought home to see which items qualify. Thank you for participating in this community clean up!
We are also involved in a week long Pitch - In. All of our classes are picking an area of the community to clean up this week and heading out with their Pitch In clear clean up bags and gloves on their hands to help make Elmvale clean, tidy, and BEAUTIFUL! Thank you to all of our staff and students for your great efforts!
