Thirty-six Buckeye Beauties

If you're a teacher or if you have a child between the ages of five and eighteen, chances are there’s a drawer of dried-up markers somewhere in your house. Eventually they’ll probably end up in some landfill. Did you know they could all be shipped – for free – to Crayola to be re-purposed? Crayola is working with K-12 schools across North America to help kids learn the importance of protecting their environment. Here’s how it works: First you let your school administrators know you want to participate in the ColorCycle program. Next you set up a collection point at your school for used markers. When you’ve gathered up a bunch (it won’t take long) pack them into a cardboard box and go to http://www.crayola.com/colorcycle.aspx to print off a free shipping label. Crayola will pay to have FedEx Ground come pick up the box of markers. Pat yourself on the back for being a such a good role model!
