Looks like Jon Stephani and his members, over at The University of Montana - Western, had an incredible time on their Day of National Service and Remembrance!
Take a look at the Facebook Photo Album! for proof :P
I asked Jon to write up a summary of what they did that day. Here is what he had to say:
" The first set of photos with us driving around in trucks and sorting recycling was the first part of our project. We enlisted the help of community members, campus corps members, Montana Youth Challenge Cadets and of course, our new service learning floor students, to help with a curbside recycling pick up and food donation drive. We were able to collect around 200 pounds of plastic, and filled the majority of the recycling bins here in town with aluminum, steel, paper, cardboard and glass.
The second section of pictures is an art project that w
e did for Dillon's youth. We invited all students from grades K through 8 to come down to Jaycee park (our version of Central Park) to learn how to make their own canvases out of recycled paper and found objects. While their canvases were drying we taught them how to make edible, biodegradable paint out of items they could find in their parents cupboards. We had around 35 children show up, which is an amazing turnout for Dillon youth."
Wowzas! I want to make edible, biodegradable paint...
Looks like a great turnout with great weather and smiling faces. Keep up the great work over there in Dillon, MT!
I'm going to post up the flier than Jon used around his campus to enlist volunteers. I think it's an awesome example of an effective way to spread knowledge about your projects. Click on it to make it bigger!
Keep on sendin' in those service projects! I'm living vicariously through you all :P
