Recyling


We all know that the school budget is going through some tough times. One thing that I have been doing is sending in empty ink cartridges and old cell phones to earn points for our school. I send them to a company called funding factory. The points that are issued can be used to purchase educational items. My goal for this year and next year is to earn enough points to buy white board markers for all the teachers. This will allow us to have a little bit more money in the budget to spend on other things. I need everyone to help me out with this. Please ask people you know to save these items and donate them to the school. You can bring them to me or the items can be dropped off in the main office. I will continue to send these items in over the summer so they can be dropped off in July and August too. Thanks for all your help.

I think that Recycling Empty Ink cartridges is a great way to make money for the school since everyone using printers. I have already turned in many since my mother gets them from her work and I will continue to do so to help raise money for the school

Like what Ravi said, I think this is a great opportunity to help out the school. I continue to bring in ink cartridges if we run out at home or when my mom brings one home for work because she works in a doctor's office. Aka, fax machines, copy machines, and then regular printers, that is why they are so obnoxiously large. But it is a great opportunity so I will continue to bring them in.

Mrs. Taylor is doing a great thing by trying to help all the teachers when she really only has to worry about herself. Like Ricky said, this is a great way to fundraise because everyone does use printers.

I haven't actually recycled any ink cartriges or cell phones, but I'm definitely in favor of the environment. I totally agree with everyone who already commented on this blog. GO ENVIRONMENT! Yay! Like Kayla, I really do think it's great what Mrs. Taylor is doing. Keep up the good work Mrs. Taylor.

I agree with Ben that Mrs. Taylor is doing a fantastic job in finding another way to support the environment and our school at the same time! Like Ricky I have already given Mrs. Taylor numerous ink cartridges and a cell phone, and I will continue to give all of my used ones to Mrs. Taylor in her effort to aid the teachers which in turn helps us students learn.

I agree with Casey in that recycling print cartridges are a great way to raise money for our school, we all know that we need it. Its also being enviromentally friendly. Mrs Taylor is doing a great job helping out the school and the enviroment through promoting this. I have some print cartridges that are almost out of ink, which i plan on bring in shortly!

I think this program is wonderful. Its a good way to help both our school and the environment. Like just about everyone else, I also think what Mrs. Taylor is doing is awesome and I'll do what I can to find more empty ink cartridges to bring in.

Like everyone else, i think recycling empty ink cartridges is a great way to earn money for our school! Why throw something out when you can exchange it for cash? It's a wonderful way to help the school out, because a little goes a long way.

Like everyone else said, i think that mrs. taylor is doing a great job trying to help our school's budget. I think that this is an awesom idea because like Kyla said, everyone does use printers.I will continue bringing them in to help the school and because we get math money. My mom, like Bri's, brings them home from work too. She works at a doctors office as well so they have tons of things that use ink for :]

It's always a great feeling to know that Mrs. Taylor is doing all she can to make our school a better and more fun place to learn. Our world is constantly changing, and new technologies like the SmartBoard truly facilitate the learning process in this modern society.

People constantly complain about our school's deficiencies (heating, old building, etc.), but if we look past those things, we'll see teachers like Mrs. Taylor who are constantly striving to improve our experience at Norton High.

It makes our school pretty great, really.

I think that recyling ink cartridges is a great way to raise some extra money for our school. If more people acted like Mrs Taylor and took action instead of complaining, i think we would be alot better off. Like Tim said, even though we may not be the richest school we certainly have great teachers who work hard to make sure we still enjoy our experience in high school.

I agree with what Kelley said about the teachers in the school. It's good to know that a majority of them care about our education and our school. And ink cartridges are easy to recycle and something many people use up quickly, especially with school projects and essays.

Red Sox time is here!

Everyone has reported to Spring training and the first pre-season game is Wednesday at 7:05. I am very excited, but I will have to skip this game because our boys basketball team has its playoff game at the same time and they are more important to me than the Redsox.

One School One Book

I have been reading the book "The Day the World Came to Town" and something is on my mind that I have to share with everyone. Can you believe how incredibly generous and trusting the people in Gander are? I would like to think that I would be the same, but I am not sure. I know that I would definately bring supplies to where ever the people were being placed, but I am not sure that I would open my house up to strangers. I couldn't get over how people were invited into the homes to take showers and the home owners would leave the house and tell them to make themselves at home. I would like to think that I could be that way, but I am not sure I would. What about you? Could you be that trusting of stangers?

What are you reading?

Have you read any good books lately? I am trying to find a great book for the incoming freshmen to read over the summer. The current freshmen class read "The Number Devil", but they didn't like that choice so I am trying to find something more enjoyable for the students. Right now I am reading "October Sky" by Homer Hickham. I am only 60 pages into the book, but I am enjoying the little that I have read. I would like to hear about any books that you have read and would recommend.
