The TICCIT program proves a valuable addition to school curriculums, as stated by Riverview Elementary School Principal, Andrea Zackery, “Colbert Packaging’s visit turned learning into a living experience for our 2nd and 3rd grade students—sparking curiosity about trees, recycling, and the importance of replenishing our forests. Their thoughtful questions showed just how engaged they

were, but the moment that truly stayed with them was planting their very own tree to take home—a lasting re- minder that even small hands can make a big difference for our planet.” Bittersweet Elementary second grade teacher, Karyn Delio, added, “The students loved having their own tree to take home and plant. Many of them shared when and where they planted their tree when they got back to school.” The Colbert Kenosha team with students and their awards.
This year, in addition to providing the TICCIT program to schools, Colbert Packaging added a new twist for Col- bert employees. During the year, employees attend lunch and learn events hosted by marketing manager, Wanda Speer, where they learn about various timely and relevant topics. “This Spring, we decided to share TICCIT internal- ly with our employees,” says Speer. “The event provided insights around TICCIT itself and educated our staff about the industry association we’ve been a part of for many years – the PPC. They, too, gained knowledge and planted trees to take home. Who knows … next year, we may have dozens of employee volunteers and many more students to teach!” Students made thank-you cards for Colbert Packaging.
