Hello Friends & Neighbors of University Park! Your community council is teaming up with Project Helping to offer residents the opportunity to help make a difference in the neighborhood in 2016. Our first project will start at University Park Elementary School, who needs our help to paint 10 classrooms and provide some TLC in the school. We are seeking 50 volunteers to help us on Saturday, 2/27/16 from approximately 9am - 1 pm. Bring your family, friends & anyone who likes to paint. And if you can't join us, please consider a small donation to help us raise the $1,200 for paint & supplies.

Green Team
New Zero-Waste Party Kits!
This week Green Team students were surprised to learn that most "paper plates" (that you can't tear with your hands) have a plastic coating and can't be recycled or composted.
The UPark Student Green Team decided to put together 10 class kits full of colorful, reusable, dishwasher safe plates, cups and utensils for classroom parties and food projects. PARENT VOLUNTEERS can sign-up to wash the party supplies instead of buying them. Use this easy way to reduce the waste UPark adds to the landfill!
Kits can be checked out and returned to Ms. Cardenas in room 116.
The students on the Green Team are also doing a Recycled Ornament Challenge to decorate the tree by room 116.
The next Student Green Team meeting is Fri, Jan. 8 at 8:15 AM
