Did you know that Crayola will accept any brand or type of marker (dry erase, washable, etc.) and repurpose them? Last year, the Lower School launched a marker recycling program in celebration of Earth Day through the Crayola ColorCycle initiative. Students collected and repurposed over 500 markers last spring.
