Green Team Winter Coat Exchange
Don't throw out your old winter coat, exchange it for a 'new to you' coat at the DHMS Winter Coat exchange. In an attempt to reduce waste and reuse winter coats that are still in good shape, the Green Team asks for your help. Drop off coats in the main entrance lobby starting Monday, November 6th through Thursday, November 16th. Pick up a 'new to you' coat between 7:20-7:50am or 2:45-3:15pm Friday, November 17th or Monday, November 20th. All size coats will be accepted for the exchange. Contact Heather Shinn with any questions.

Donate Your Plastic Film Waste & Help DHMS Win a Trex Bench
Holiday season is here, and that means you're probably getting lots of shipping envelopes from online retailers! That's great news because the DHMS Green Team is setting our sights on winning a super cool Trex bench for our school if we can collect 1000 pounds of plastic recycling material. Starting Monday, November 6, bring in your CLEAN, DRY plastic film waste like newspaper sleeves, plastic grocery bags, bubble wrap and all of those empty shipping envelopes. Just drop it in the plastic bins in the hallway near the front office and we'll do the rest. Please make sure all of the plastic is CLEAN, DRY and FREE of FOOD RESIDUE.
