Biodegradable Cups for 60th Anniversary Celebration 10/6/12

Mustang Re-Connect Party Supports Sustainability

Numerous events within the St. Francis community marked the 60^th anniversary of our school’s founding in 1952. The All School Mass, dedication of our Peace Garden, Bishop Boyea’s concelebrated Mass with many past and present St. Francis priests and the Mustang Re-Connect Party all served to mark such an important and happy occasion. The 60^th Anniversary Organizing Committee made the Mustang Re-Connect Party even more memorable by making it the first major St. Francis evening event to actively support sustainability. The Committee chose to provide compostable soft drink, wine and coffee cups as well as compostable plates for all guests. Their foresight and commitment to sustainability prevented hundreds of Styrofoam cups, conventional paper cups and plates from delivery to the local landfill. Adding a wonderful note of generosity to the evening, an anonymous donor contributed all compostable products used for the Re-Connect Party. Thank you anonymous donor and 60^th Anniversary Organizing Committee!
