Lynnwood Ridge Primary School

Who is Ronnie?

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Did you know that for every tonne of waste paper collected, 17 trees are saved? We are proud to say that in 2011, Lynnwood Ridge Primary School collected enough paper to save over 1000 trees.

Ronnie Recycle is a fundraising endeavour initiated by the school that enables us to buy much needed educational resources and equipment. By recycling paper (this includes magazines, boxes, old telephone directories, etc) we also play a part in caring for the environment. Please check that only paper items are brought to Ronnie no plastic, tins or polystyrene will be accepted. We did experience problems in this area last year.

Just a few friendly reminders to ensure the safety of our children on the school premises every Tuesday:

v  The gate at the tennis court is open for dropping off large loads of paper from 06:30 until 07:30. No one is on duty after 07:30.

v  If your child has only one packet of paper that can easily be carried to Ronnie, rather let your child walk into school from where he/she is usually dropped off.  Please do not drive into the school as it only causes congestion in the parking lot.

v  Always drive slowly and be aware of the children’s whereabouts.

v   Park in the allocated areas (marked by yellow lines) so traffic can flow.

v  No child or parent may enter the gate at the tennis court on foot; ONLY CARS MAY USE THIS GATE!

Let us set a goal for 2011, to try and collect enough paper to save at least 1200 trees. Please assist us in making a difference!

Yours in recycling,
