In keeping with our Green School status, the Green School committee would like to remind all families about the importance of recycling batteries.

Piercestown N.S. are registered with weeepledge.ie . This free battery recycling programme not only offers a means of recycling for the children but also offers opportunities for schools who engage in the programme to win some prizes for the school.

Furthermore, by recycling batteries funds are raised for the LauraLynn Children’s Hospice in Ireland. Further information about the LauraLynn hospice is available on http://www.lauralynn.ie

There’s two good reasons to get recycling those batteries. So bring on those batteries. Wee recycling boxes are located at the Green School noticeboard at the entrance of the school.
