The Clay County Conservation Board's "Oneota Conservation Foundation" awarded our CCE Library a grant of $125 this year!
With these funds Mrs. Toft ordered "litter getter" grabber-extender-arms for the students to use in keeping the school grounds and community free of litter. She also purchased reusable stainless-steel straws and straw cleaner kits for all of the K-6 children to take home!
Did you know that by using a stainless steel or other kind of reusable straw you can prevent up to 6 straws a day from being thrown away? Did you also know that Americans throw away over 100 million straws daily? That's A LOT of waste!
Our Mavericks are mighty in their efforts to make their school, community and planet a safer and healthier place to live! Go Mavericks!
Thank you to the Oneota Conservation Foundation for this wonderful grant!
