Central Elementary School in Nampa, Lincoln Elementary School in Caldwell and Jefferson Elementary School in Boise all received a donation of school supplies recently. The interesting part? … All the supplies were made from toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes. Thankfully, it was recycled. It’s not like someone took ink and poured it into a drilled-in hole in a used toothbrush, then added a nib. There are standards. Albertsons, Colgate and TerraCycle got together to make this happen for the Kids In Need Foundation, a nonprofit that assists schoolchildren through free supplies and grants. Each school was given 333 toothbrush pens, 56 backpacks and 200 notebooks. Congratulations to these schools and their students!
