Get ready to clean out those closets! Highland Elementary has joined the Battle of the Schools for the month of September. All linens, clothing, shoes, hats and purses are eligible. Please place these into the green and white bins at the 4 Diamonds during September. We are competing with schools across the country to see who can collect the most pounds of textiles. Each time a bin is emptied, a tree is planted. Let’s fill those bins!
