The weather Monday – Wednesday is predicted to be dangerously cold. (We’ll see about Thursday and Friday.) We will NOT be going outside for playtime, but please still bundle up on the way to and from the car. Thank you!

Recycling!
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Clarification:
We’ve had a little confusion about the Center’s recycling program. The bins are being filled by recyclables we use at the Center. We will not have space to recycle items children bring from home.
Did you know that the Lincoln Journal Star has started a weekly curbside pick-up recycling program right here in Seward? You can read all about it here. The cost is $10 a month for Journal-Start subscribers, or $12 dollars a month for non-subscribers. A large, covered bin (or two if you need another) is delivered to your door, and Monday is the pick-up day for Seward.
The children are becoming more and more aware of the benefits to recycling, so we encourage you to look into this opportunity!
Along those lines, we are wondering about getting a few bins for the Center. We already take recycling to our fine drop-off center here in town, but the Journal-Star will take glass, and ALL plastics 1 – 7. This means that the many, many milk cups that we use each week could get recycled instead of thrown into a landfill. We are wondering if perhaps any families would like to sponsor a month of recycling? Let us know what you think.
UPDATE: How exciting! We already have FOUR families who will sponsor a month of recycling! Our plan is to start on the $12 a month for two tubs here, and just put in the plastics that our local site won’t take. (We have some wonderful volunteers who help take our recycling in now, God bless their help!)
