I have two fun Honor Society Group Service Opportunities. I hope to see many of you participate. Here they are:
1. Next Tuesday, September 16th, from 2:30 - 4:00, in the art room we will be decorating Kids Food Basket brown bags for their supper program. The late bus is available to take in-district students home.
2. Mayor's Grand River Clean-up. Crossroads NJHS will be partnering with Trinity UMC for this service event. I will be there and hope to see you too! Here is the info and link for signing up. Although we are signing up on the Trinity group (please read directions below carefully) you will receive NJHS group service hours for participation.
Here's the link to register: https://www.formstack.com/
*Please indicate that you are volunteering with Trinity UMC and that your site leader is the UMC youth leader, Chelsea Smith!
Here are the important details and information about the event:
- The clean up involves 5 different communities, 40 miles of the Grand River and roughly 1,000 volunteers! This is one of the top 5 largest river clean ups in the nation.
- Last year, 700 volunteers picked up 12,000 pounds of trash!
- Wear long pants as there is poison ivy in some areas along the river.
- We're cleaning up the river in rain or shine! It will be fun!
- Meet at 6th Street Park in downtown GR. We'll be taking buses to our work site from there. This is a city event, so plan for city parking. There is street parking available and the meters are free on weekends.
- Free lunch afterwards. Yum! GR Pizza and Founders Brewing Co. have graciously sponsored the event.
- Registration begins at 8:30am. Yes, we'll have coffee! Clean up begins shortly after this.
I think that's all for now. WMEAC will be sending out a huge email full of details at some point next week, too. If you're registered in advance, you should get it. If you don't get it, please don't hesitate to contact me with questions, comments, or concerns.
Hope to see you all there!
