After watching our students wash their hands numerous times throughout the day, we felt convicted to make a conscious effort to keep our paper towels from eventually ending up in a landfill. Now MCLS uses washcloths to dry hands. Students fold the freshly washed cloths and take pride in cutting off loose strings, stacking by color and placing the cloths in the classroom ready to be used. Taking this skill from the classroom to home, a few parents commented how their children now offer to fold laundry at home.
