Would you like to help? It is amazing how materials that industry and business consider scrap can be used in schools like ours to provide more resources in Art, Technology, and other classes! Slightly outdated paper to your company becomes creative projects in our hands! We have had aluminum for foundry work, scrap wood, old barn siding, and many other materials become valid and useful tools in our educational process. We often adjust learning experiences to what we currently have to work with. Speakers? field trips? Please contact us to see if we can recycle your materials in the classroom! We will forward information to the parties most interested! (some materials we could not use and we may have to decline, but we appreciate the effort)
