Recycle your Capri Sun pouches

Kawananakoa School has joined the CapriSun Drink Pouch Brigade. 
Be a team player and help our planet by leaving your empty Capri Sun juice pouches (without the straw) in the Capri Sun Bin in the cafeteria. 
You are welcomed to bring your empty pouches from home as well. 
The pouches will then be mailed to the mainland where they will be upcycled into cool products such as backpacks and lunch bags.

Students may purchase Capri Sun juice during morning recess in the cafeteria.
