Family Partnerships: We would like to ask families to contribute to the junk collection by bringing in junk from home—items that typically get thrown away,
e.g., paper towel rolls, old magazines, bottle tops, cartons, and broken things. Please check all items and make sure they’re safe; rinse containers and remove items
with sharp edges.
