Hyman Fine Elementary School NewsThe PTO is selling Spirit Items - Click Here for Details Second Step Program - Sun Chronicle Article The award-winning Second Step program integrates academics with social and emotional learning. The students learn and practice vital social skills such as empathy, emotional management, problem-solving and cooperation. These essential life skills help students in the classroom, on the playground, and at home. Our ‘buzzwords’ at Hyman Fine are RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, and HONESTY. Our mascot is the Golden Goose who reminds us to “live by the Golden Rule.” To help facilitate this program, a committee has been formed that will host weekly assemblies with the students. Paper Retriever Information Hyman Fine Recycles… And raises money for the school!! We are extremely excited about our new arrival…a PaperRetriever recycling bin from Abititi Bowater, world’s largest manufacturer of recycled content newsprint for use in making newspapers. The paper you recycle today may be the newspaper you read in just a few weeks….and again in two months...and again. That process is called full-circle recycling. What is the Paper Retriever Program? The program is a simple and free service for communities to use for paper recycling. The community is encouraged to bring their paper and put it into the bin. The school is not charged for the bins or the pick-up of paper. We will be paid for the paper collected in each bin.
What can be put in the bin? The company accepts catalogs, magazines, newspapers, junk mail, office paper, fax paper, school paper, envelopes, notebooks, and folders. It does NOT accept phone books, cardboard, plastic, glass, metals or trash.
How much money should we expect to raise? The more we recycle, the more we raise! Please spread the word to your family, friends, and neighbors. The green and yellow bin is located near the gym door on the left side of the school. Paper can be sent in with your child or you may drop it directly into the bin. Parents are encouraged to have a designated spot to save papers for recycling at home.
The Paper Retriever program is an easy, rewarding way
to make a positive impact on our school and the community that surrounds
it. Funds may be utilized for playground refurbishing, library
enhancements, field trips, and many other worthwhile projects. Currently,
the Paper Retriever program is in place at over 15,000 organizations through
22 metropolitan areas in 14 states. Last year these organizations earned
$4.5 million dollars. By participating in this program, we can help reduce
landfill use, save water, energy and jobs - leaving the world a better place
for our children.
