Earlier this week our pre-schoolers received Halloween gift bags from 8th grade Enrichment students. Those students recycled crayons donated from the community and melted them into pumpkin shapes for the pre-schoolers to enjoy. If you have crayons that you no longer use, feel free to donate them to Northbrook so our upcycling project can continue!
