Imagine Bella Academy of Excellence, located on Bella Drive just off Neff Road, has recently acquired a Abitibi Paper Retriever as part of their initiative to raise student and community awareness of the importance of recycling. Through this program, Bella Academy will receive funds for each ton of paper recycled. Not only is this a great way to support the world-wide Green Initiative and preserve our planet, but it helps raise money for a new community school. Charter schools do not receive the same amount of funding that public schools do, so these types of programs are extremely important to Bella Academy. Items that can be brought to the paper bin include: newspapers, magazines, shopping catalogs, junk mail, office and school papers and phone books. Just look for the big green and yellow bin located in the parking lot. As we move into a new year, make it your resolution to support your local schools and the planet by recycling your paper!
