Milk Jugs Needed for a June Camp Science Project
Claire Overstake needs a little help from our Panther community!
She is collecting clean, empty gallon plastic milk jugs for an upcoming camp project happening in June. Families are welcome to send jugs with or without caps, but please rinse them with warm water first.
Jugs may be dropped off at the Lower School. The goal is to collect about 200 by June 24, so feel free to ask friends, neighbors, grandparents, and anyone else who might be willing to save a few.
Thank you for helping Claire gather what she needs for a fun, hands-on summer project.
