    I want to hear more about the candy wrapper recycling box! Also, if you all have Netflix, you must watch "My Octopus Teacher!"

    We are at ~1000 points! Good work team! So proud :) Hopefully, you take something from this activity that helps the endangered Southern Residents! Every small thing makes a big difference over time :)  

    Thought for the day: Wouldn't it be cool if there was a local gas station that only sold glass/can products in their coolers?
