SEA-Students for Environmental Action

Do your part to save the planet!

Students for Environmental Action are selling water bottles

during lunch

for $7

in an effort to promote a single- use Plastics Free Campus.

Thanks to WEEFC and efforts by SEA and the district facilities team,

there will be a water bottle filler installed in the cafeteria over the December vacation.

Why throw away a bottle when you can reuse?

Get your bottle while you can!
