ALUMINUM CAN RECYCLING

Annie Essay's and Judy Polcyznski's classes collect aluminum cans.  The Life Skill classes use the money earned to participate in functional and community based activities such as the Special Olympics. Cans can be dropped off in the fenced-in collection bin behind the Middle School. The cage is just for loose aluminum cans. No plastic bottles or bi-metal cans, please.
 
Please DO NOT put bags in the cage!  If you have collected your cans in a bag or some other container and you are unable to dump the cans into the cage, please do not toss them in container and all.  Simply place your container on the pavement near the cage and the students will take care of it.  If a bag is tossed into the cage someone must physically climb into the cage and remove it! This can be dangerous, not to mention unpleasant and in the warm weather the bees and yellow jackets add to the safety concerns whenever someone has to climb in to remove bagged cans. So please remember - ONLY LOOSE CANS IN THE CAGE.  Thanks!
 
The aluminum can collection and recycling program is an all-year activity.

OFFICE DEPOT DONATES TO SCHOOLS
5% Back to Schools Program: Office Depot will give the high school an Office Depot Merchandise Card worth 5% of all qualifying school supply purchases made during each program period. Computers, TVs, all technology items including PDAs, all furniture items and accessories, some bulk packaged products, ink and tone cartridges, gift cards, and purchases made to contract business account are not qualifying purchases. BUT that still leaves notebooks, index cards, pencils, pens, highlighters, filler paper, dividers, glue sticks, paper clips, erasers, rubber bands and many other items you typically purchase throughout the year!
 
If you shop at Office Depot please remember to ask the salesperson to apply your purchase towards the Back to School Program. I was told at the store that the program runs year round!
 
They can look up Franklin Regional High School or you can make live a little easier for them by giving them our school ID# - 70087330.

TARGET TAKE CHARGE OF EDUCATION
Target's program involves having a Target charge card.  We are not encouraging you get their credit card, however if you already have one, please register online at Target.com or by calling 1-800-316-6142 and name Franklin Regional High School as your school of choice. If you are registering online, click on �Take Charge of Education�.  Every time you make purchases at Target using your Target credit card the high school earns a 1% cash rebate. Cash purchases do not qualify. Target mails a rebate check to the school twice a year.  We currently have over 600 people signed up and in the fall the school received almost $600, which represented money earned from the previous six months.  A Target credit card holder does not have to have a child attending FRHS to designate it as their school of choice. If you know of anybody (FRHS parent, family, friends, or neighbors) who might be willing to participate in these programs please forward this notice to them.  Thanks!
(FRHS PTO)
 
FYI - If you already have a Target card, this would be a great time to name FRHS as your school of choice.  This is a year-round program.  Once you register you don't have to re-register, nor are there any program dates to keep track of in order to make sure your contributions count.
