School Papers Go Green
With three kids in three different schools, I am buried in paper; the running joke in our household is that I have more homework than my kids do. Easily three-quarters of what comes home goes straight into the recycling bin. Multiply that by over 5000 children in our school district and the mind boggles.
Isn’t there a better way to get information to parents?
One Pennsylvania school thinks so. Liberty elementary school in Harrisburg now sends school papers electronically through a free website on Shutterfly. Nearly 90% of the parents at that school opted for the online version- the remainder still preferring paper or lacking home internet access.
