THIS WEEK
♥ TODAY! A&H Valentine’s Day Potluck. 11:00 am- 2:00 p.m. in the R230 lunchroom. Please sign up at: Sign up Genius.com – submitted by Gordon Leighton
♦ FEB. 12-16. Contribute plastic bags for Earth Week plarn (plastic yarn) bedrolls. Please ask your students to each bring 5-10 plastic bags (grocery is best, and non-torn). Bring these plastic bags to R230 this week to be collected by RISE for this large-scale service project. These bedrolls serve as a layer of protection between the ground and sleeping bags, something much needed for people living on the streets. It can take 500-700 plastic bags to make a single bedroll.
◊ If you’d be willing to take 10 minutes out of a class period in late-February/early-March, project coordinators can also come to your class and teach your students how to make plarn. For the larger number of bedrolls (past the test bedroll), plarn-making will be built into Earth Week. For more information, contact Amber Nicholson. Submitted by Sajonna Sletten
