Back-to-School Program: Scholastic Recyclables
On Saturday, August 7 at 1:30 P.M. the Wapsi River Environmental Education Center will host a back-to-school program: scholastic recyclables. Going "green" when it comes to back-to-school supplies is easier than you think and very cost effective! Learn how to convert cereal boxes, chip bags, food wrappers, soda boxes, juice pouches and t-shirts into functional back-to-school supplies. These trash treasures will be a guaranteed hit! This program will offer lots of fundraising ideas for scout troops, environmental clubs and church youth groups. Registration is required by calling (563) 328-3286 by Thursday, August 5.
The Wapsi River Environmental Education Center can be found 6 miles south of Wheatland or 1 mile northwest of Dixon, Iowa by taking County Road Y4E. Then turn north at 52nd Avenue and follow the signs for about 1 mile.
