TECH COMMUNITY:
Starting now, there will be a new policy regarding clubs, teams and ALL events that use the cafeteria.
At the end of all events in the cafe, all bins and signs must be moved back to their correct position, which are illustrated on the plastic bulletin boards around the cafeteria. You are only required to move back the bins and signs that are in their event space. Essentially, please leave the signs and bins how you found them so that the cafeteria staff don't have to move them back everyday.
This new policy is part of the SGO's initiative to improve recycling and composting in the cafeteria.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to ask a member of the Sustainability Committee or Ms. Lennon (Sustainabilties advisors). You can also attend an SGO meeting on Tuesday in person so we may answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for your attention to this matter! Lets clean up our school!
