Dear PS 101 Families,

To commemorate Earth Day on April 22, PS 101 is proud to participate in a meaningful initiative that supports both our environment and children in need.

Through the Crayon Initiative, used crayons are collected, recycled, and remanufactured into new, durable crayons that are donated to children in hospitals across the country. These redesigned crayons are larger, easy to grip, and designed not to roll, bringing comfort, creativity, and joy to young patients.

We invite our PS 101 community to join us in this effort by donating any used or unwanted crayons from home. Instead of throwing them away, let’s give them a second life!

Collection Details:

• Drop-off boxes in the main entrance
• Students may bring in crayons and deposit them throughout the collection period

Together, we can help reduce waste, protect our planet, and brighten the days of children in hospitals.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make a difference, one crayon at a time!

Donate your crayons now!

Sincerely,

Ms. Correnti, Ms. Mark and PS 101’s Little Lighthouse Team
