Let&#8217;s<br \/>\nshow our support and wear pink on Monday, October 31st as Breast Cancer<br \/>\nAwareness month comes to a close. Wouldn&#8217;t it be neat to have the entire<br \/>\nschool filled with pink to show our support?<\/p>\n<p>This year the SDSF, in conjunction with Make a Difference Week, is striving<br \/>\nto create less trash during lunch.   A typical American school kid<br \/>\ngenerates 67 pounds of discarded lunchbox packaging waste per school year.<br \/>\nThat\u2019s more than 18,000 pounds annually for an average-size elementary<br \/>\nschool, which adds up nationwide to more than 1 billion pounds annually. A<br \/>\ntypical U.S. family using disposables generates more than 4,000 pieces of<br \/>\nlunch trash unnecessarily each year, according to our ECO lunchboxes<br \/>\nLunchbox Waste Study 2010.   The 1st WASTE FREE LUNCH is Oct. 26th.<br \/>\nDomino\u2019s pizza, Steamed Broccoli Florets, Ranch Salad, Fresh Blueberries,<br \/>\nFresh Apple. There will not be extra containers to put ketchup and dip in.<br \/>\nJust place the condiments on your tray with the food you&#8217;re using it on.<br \/>\nOn the back are a few ideas to help you pack your own waste-free lunch.<\/p>\n<p>*Attention 7th and 8th grade students!
