In honor of National Green Week, H.L. Johnson Elementary School in Royal Palm Beach is hosting a paper shredding fundraising on Friday, March 14. Although the event will take place from 7:15 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. and from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. for H.L. Johnson families, non-student families are encouraged to come after 8 a.m. and after 2:20 p.m. to avoid school pickup and drop-off traffic.
For $5 per copy-paper-sized box, members of the public can have sensitive documents destroyed securely on site while they wait. Proceeds will go to the school to purchase books.
During National Green Week, H.L. Johnson students will be participating in other green events such as taking the pledge to love and protect the Earth, wearing green, bringing in a trash-free lunch, learning how to recycle and participating in a walking, reading and recycling triathlon.
