Okay forumites, I need your help (if any of you are willing). The Chesapeake Public Charter School (CPCS), which my son attends, is currently participating in a program called the Dream Machine Recycle Rally (Dream Machine Recycle Rally). The point behind this program is to raise awareness of recycling programs, earn points towards school supplies, and also to provide support to the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities. Along with these benefits the contest enters the top 50% of schools in the program into a weekly drawing for a chance to win one of two $5000 Green Leader prizes. At the end of the contest the school with the highest average collection per student will win a $100,000 Green School Makeover. Part of the mission statement for CPCS is to raise awareness for the environment and to support "green" efforts. However the school is only partially funded through the state and is required to makeup any shortfall in operating costs through fundraising and donations (typically around $60,000 per year). Needless to say this contest has the ability to greatly benefit CPCS.
So I would like to see if any of you guys out in SOMD.com land would be willing to help by saving your recyclable aluminum cans (non alcoholic) and plastic bottles for this program. My son and I would be more than happy to pick them up from you, either at your home or at an acceptable meeting place (I am willing to do my best to make this easy on anyone who can help out) or you could drop them off at CPCS as they have a collection container in front of the school (the old Catalina Driving School). If anyone is willing to help out please let me know by PMing me and I will provide some contact information so we can get in touch.
CPCS is currently in 6th place nationwide with 115 cans per student collected. However the 1st place school is currently at 294 cans per student (Top 10 Leading Schools - Dream Machine Recycle Rally). So as you can see we could really use the community's help in this endeavor. THANKS FOR READING THIS POST!!!
PS. The contest runs until May 1st.
