REUSABLE PARTY PACKS IN GRADE 3!
After a successful trial in Grade 2 last year, this term the Eco Rangers launched the Reusable Party Packs in Grade 3.
At UWCSEA, we are always looking for ways to avoid single-use, throw-away plastics so it makes perfect sense for each class to have a pack of cups and plates that they can use... and reuse!
The Eco Rangers sorted and delivered the class packs and gave presentations to each class explaining why we are moving towards reusable containers. The classes were very excited to get their own matching sets, each containing 24 plastic cups and plates.
The Reusable Party Packs can be used whenever the children are sharing food at school: end of term parties, birthday celebrations, bake sales etc. They are also available for parents and staff to borrow over the weekends and in the holidays. Our aim is to avoid buying single-use, disposable party containers, so please do let your child's teacher know if you would like to borrow the class set!
It's been a great success over the last few weeks, with 3LFe using their pack for a birthday celebration and 3LeA for their 'Mini UN Food Festival.'
Mrs Daniels used her set to serve popcorn at the Bali Bridges Bake Sale and Miss Willis's class is planning to use their party pack at their end of term Christmas party.

After such a great start, we will be continuing the initiative throughout the Junior School:
Grade 4 will be next!
Great work Eco-rangers and Grade 2 for trialling!! Well done on making a huge leap towards zero waste at UWCSEA!
ReplyDeleteWell done Eco Rangers for presenting these to the Grade 3 classes. Be ready for the Grade 4 bundle in Term 2.
