FOWLER WON Recycling Drive

Exciting news! Fowler MS collected 204 pounds of batteries on last month's Battery Recycling Drive! This year FISD collected 3,332 pounds (1,511 kilograms). To put that in perspective, that is what a Toyota RAV4 weighs.

We have diverted 3,332 pounds of materials away from landfills, where lead and other toxic materials eventually leak into our groundwater. Batteries in our recycling stream are also a common cause of fires.

Fowler Spring Plastic Bag Recycling Challenge

WHEN: 3/11 - 4/11 Round up your bags over Spring Break!

H-E-B is partnering with Fowler to celebrate Earth Day 2024 and promote the future of our planet! We are again collecting your grocery store plastic bags - from any store.

Gather grocery bags from any retailer
If possible, bundle in groups of 25 (24 bags inside an exterior bag)
Send/drop off to Fowler (cart or front foyer) after spring break through 4/11

We are competing with other schools in our region for a campus grant! Last year a total of 4 million bags were recycled from area schools.

Thank you for your participation!

Lunch Drop Off procedure

The Lunch Cart has been replaced with 3 coolers. Each cooler is labeled with a Grade Level. The lunch coolers are located on the west side of the building next to the Cafeteria Doors. Parents are welcome to leave lunches in the coolers. Lunches should be labeled with the student's name before being placed in the coolers. We are also asking that no "to-go" cups be placed in the coolers. Drinks may be delivered, but they must be in a sealed container with a leakproof lid or top.

We know that our families like to deliver a fresh lunch for students and we appreciate the effort that parents go through to bring nutritious food for their students. We are just taking the front office out of the process. The teachers on Lunch Room duty will bring the coolers into the cafeteria at the beginning of each lunch period for students.

Student Lunch Times for your reference:

6th Grade Lunch 11:25-11:55, please have lunch here by 11:15

7th Grade Lunch 12:11-12:41, please have lunch here by 12:01

8th Grade Lunch 12:57-1:27, please have lunch here by 12:47.

Parents are still welcome to sign in at the front office and have lunch with their students.
