Help The Scandinavian School of Jersey City With An Upcycling Project

The Scandinavian School of Jersey City will be joining us on April 30th!

The SSJC Upcycle Project

Is it waste that cannot be recycled? Is it clean and safe for children to work with? Could it inspire re-thinking, re-inventing, or re-imagining? If so...we can use it!

Please bring your items to a SSJC Project collection bin at the Hamilton Park Farmers Market, or to SSJC located at 513 Manila Avenue in Jersey City (corner of 9th / Manila). Questions? Unsure if your materials are what we are looking for? Do not hesitate to contact us! Maria Sharp: director@scandischool.com or Hannah Riarback: hannah@scandischool.com
