Here in the Zone we are taking a good look at how we can be better shepherds of the resources God provides for our kids. An area where we can really improve is to reduce the amount of snack that goes into the trash every weekend. We are currently wasting several hundreds of dollars each year by throwing away food and cups that the children never touch.
Here are some easy ways that you can help us conserve our resources.
- Please use napkins instead of dixie cups to serve food. Napkins are now available in each classroom.
- Use cups and napkins as needed. Do not prefill.
- Return untouched food to the storage container
- Serve snack only to kids who would like to eat it.
- Refill cups, don't give them a new full cup.
If you know of other ways we can reduce our waste, please let Lorna or Jodi know.
