You may have noticed that Draper Intermediate students were featured on the front page of The Wylie News on Wednesday, May 9^th for our students’ efforts in earning recognition as one of the top 100 chip bag collectors in America out of almost 10,000 organizations that participate! The intent of “The Chip Bag Brigade” is to get students excited about recycling and repurposing while earning money for their school and giving back to the community. Student Council sponsors Danny Poellot, Kristin Sloppy, Robert Irwin, and Shelly Sisco coordinate this effort with members of the Student Council. All Draper Intermediate students participate in the effort. Congratulations, Draper students and Student Council! We are proud of you!

Student Council is sponsoring a shoe and cell phone drop on Thursday and Friday, May 17 and 18.  We will accept any old cell phone for our Cell Phone Brigade.  This includes standard cell phones, smartphones and Iphones.  We will accept pairs of used shoes for our Paired Shoe Brigade.  We cannot take roller skates, ice skates, ski boots, slippers or rubber flip-flops, but all other pairs of shoes are acceptable.  Shoes must be in useable condition (for example, no holes in the soles) but do not need to be brand new.  Students may bring their donated shoes and cell phones to school for drop-off in the Library on Thursday, May 17 or Friday, May 18.  In addition, Student Council sponsors and members will be at Draper until 4:30 each of those days to accept donated items.  Thank you for supporting the recycling and repurposing efforts of Draper Student Council!

As your students outgrow clothing that meets the Wylie ISD standardized dress expectations, please consider donating it to Draper. Our school nurse, Beth Thomas, is always in need of a variety of sizes of clothing. Belts are welcome, too. We will be sure all items are put to good use! Thank you!

 

Students have started collecting the tabs from soda cans. We will collect these throughout the year to benefit the Ronald McDonald House.
