WINNERS  1st Prize  Battery World  Recycling Competition

Holy Spirit School have received 1st Prize in the Battery World  Recycling Competition . We were excited and grateful to receive a very generous prize from Battery World at our assembly recently.  

Recycling batteries is important because they are so widely used in everyday items including our vehicles.

When batteries are not recycled they rot away in landfill sites  where these chemicals may leak into the ground, which can cause soil and water pollution. When these chemicals contaminate soil and water, animals, humans and the environment can be harmed. Recycling is a great way to help protect the environment.

Winning this prize confirmed that we are on the right track and making a difference. Our students know that they are our future and what they start doing today can make a huge impact on our tomorrow. The generous prize of $1000.00 will most certainly be put to good use.

Thank you to our students, staff and families who support us in this initiative. Remember that all car batteries can be left at Battery World. They will even pick them up if you give them a call. Small batteries can be left in the Battery Bin near our office. Don't forget to mention Holy Spirit School and they will weigh any donated batteries and add it to our recycling collection/tally. Thank you Battery World!
