We need Dirt for the Garden. I found some @ Lowes. We will take anything we can get:) Thanks!

Garden soil – as much as we can get – Each bed needs 16 cu feet so, 8 bagsx7.97=$64.00

We are building 20 beds = 1280.00

We can use a gift card, cash or they can go buy it and drop it off at the garden location at school. 

Mrs. Clay will contact Chef Renfro and tell her that we will adopt one of the beds.  We will follow-up next week with the Environmental Club to see if they want to help plant or have some interaction with the teens from Centennial who will be developing the community garden.

We will also ask anyone who has extra garden soil to deliver to Harper, but we will do that after proper permission are granted.  There are too many activities going on to have a "dirt drive."  We will focus on private donations to help Centennial as much as we can.

Casady Service Learning promoted the week via TV screen pictures of Multicultural celebrations that took place in language classrooms such as Mardi Grass, Dia de los Muertos and Chinese New Year.

Activity:  Fleece Blankets for Positive Tomorrow and Hands to Uplift from Poverty.  We had these activities ongoing until Thursday during Music, Activities, and the double for any interested Cyclone. Mrs. Clay will be away from the office on Friday.

Tomorrow is the Development Office lunch at the Wing.  24 people signed-up to help during lunch and Activities.  Lunch from Big Truck Tacos provided courtesy of Development Office.

Other Agenda items tabled from last week and from the floor

23 Cyclones gathered for lunch and activities at the Casady Wing to write notes to Casady donors thanking them for their generosity and sharing the impact that their gift has had on their educational experience.  

  

  

  

Casady YAC will RAK Positive Tomorrow with fleece blankets made by YAC members representing each grade in the Upper Division.  The senior blanket will go to the first grade class, the junior blanket to the second grade class, the sophomore blanket to the third grade class, and the freshman blanket will go to the 4th grade class.  Isaiah decided that the blankets will be delivered after spring break since the freshman blanket still needed to be finished on Thursday.  He personally took the senior and junior blankets and finished them.

 The blanket from the Dare to Dream team will go to the kindergarten class at Positive Tomorrows
