Education and Libraries

These pictures of setting up the rummage sale are of just a few of the many volunteers who came out to work. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to support E&L raising funds for a technical scholarship. Over $1600 raised.

Environmental

Environment will be participating in the Upcycle Fashion Show on May 17th. Consumers are increasingly seeking out eco-conscious fashion alternatives. The secondhand market is expected to grow 1.5 times the size of fast fashion by 2028. The only drawback of upcycling clothing is the unstable supply of material. So donate and shop thrift stores.

The Environmental group will also participate in a clean up event (across from Evergreen Cemetery) at May Mann Jennings Park with Timucuan Parks Foundation and Terry Laws, Director District 4 (TBD).

November 15 is National Recycle Day and we will host a recycle event with New Age Hippy and Bank of America on Saturday, November 14th. Save the date!
