The Community Closet is TODAY in Myers from 8:00-3:20! Stop by ladies!

From Sloane Turner:

So excited to announce the community closet is set up and ready to go for today. I’m very excited with how it turned out, and hope everyone will come check it out during their free time today. Getting clothes second hand is a great way to reduce environmental impact, save money, and find unique pieces. Around 92 million tons of fashion waste is sent to the landfill each year, a number that only continues to rise. Though an event like this seems negligible to a number as big as 92 million, starting small is the best way to make an impact.

So excited to see y’all there

Holiday season is approaching! This is often a fun & exciting time where families and communities are brought closer together. In contrast, this is also the season of winter, where the days get colder and the nights get longer. Write a piece:

Exploring this contrast between the holidays and the winter season
Where a new tradition is created OR destroyed
About a character who really, really loves the holidays OR really, really hates them

Hello Students:

Friday November 7 was Marie Curie’s birthday, and the Science Department is sponsoring a celebration of her life and contributions to the fields of Physics and Chemistry. We will provide a special birthday snack during your advisory time today. Would you like to know more about this pioneering 2X Nobel Laureate? Here are a few resources to explore.

Love,

Your Science Department

Due to the government shutdown, many households who rely on WIC and SNAP benefits are facing heartbreaking uncertainty about their next meal. Lake Country Rural Health Initiative is hosting a Food/Formula Drive to support local families affected by this crisis. If you all want to help out during the holiday season, you can donate canned foods, baby formula, baby bottles, and/or baby food. I can come by anytime from November 1-December 31 to pick up any donations y’all may have and bring them to the clinic. Thanks!!

A vendor who offers letter jackets will be on campus, in the Tillman Center, Wednesday, Nov. 12th during both lunch periods. He will have sample sizes to try on for those interested as well as ordering information. All orders are done online so a link will be provided.
