Disposable Water Bottles

Please do not bring disposable water bottles to school. They are bad for the environment, and students do not tend to take responsibility for them, discarding or leaving them for someone else to dispose of. The anonymity of these products causes waste and litter. Thanks for your support of environmentalism at BAPS.
