One of the projects of the Independence Elementary School Fund is the clothing recycling program. Depositing unwanted clothing and household items in the bin on campus, our families and community friends will help save the environment by reducing the amount of trash that is sent to the landfill each year. These recycling efforts raise unrestricted dollars to benefit our students and support the school-wide green initiative. Please help our Eagles become more environmentally friendly!
