It helps the school and the Earth when you recycle. A lot of people would not have the things they
have without recycling. Please send in any empty ink cartridges and broken cell phones so they
don’t go in our landfills! Help Ellis Recycle.

Environmental Club Kids
By Leslie Lopez and Jocelyn Valdez
Environmental Club is important to us because it helps the world keep clean. We
recycle to help the school. Another thing that is important about our club is we clean up
around the school. The kids go outside and clean up different areas of the school grounds
like: behind the school by the fence, the swamp area, the playgrounds, by the path and forest.
Recycling is also good for the school because when we collect it, the items are sent to
a company and our school gets money. The more we recycle the more money the school
can have. The money is used for the school and field trips.
