Planet Protectors: Green Snowman Contest

Coordinator:

Timeframe: December

It’s that time of the year when thoughts of reindeer and snowball fights start filling our heads. Mother Nature might not be cooperating, but why should that stop us from making snowmen in December? RSE PTA Planet Protectors is sponsoring a “Green Snowman” contest and asking everyone to help save our planet and have a little fun in the process. Every family is encouraged to make a “green” snowman to put on display on the lawn in front of the school in “Snowman Lane.”

What is a “Green” snowman you ask? In lieu of snow, we’re having a contest for the most creative use of used, recyclable materials in making your snowman. This should be a fun family project while giving you a chance to discuss the principles of “reduce, reuse, and recycle” with your children. This activity also provides a wonderful opportunity to teach children about what items are recyclable and why it is important for everyone to do their part to reduce landfill waste and lower our carbon footprint.

Contest Rules:

1. All materials must be used and recyclable. Aluminum cans, paper, plastic bottles, etc. are fair game. Nothing new or non-recyclable should be included.
2. Include your family’s last name on your snowman.
3. Green Snowmen should be brought to RSE during morning drop-off on Monday, December 13.
4. Judging will be on Thursday, December 16.
5. Prizes will be sent home with students on Friday, December 17.
