Welcome back from the inner reaches of the Polar Vortex!
We hope that you all enjoyed the ice, snow, sledding, snowmen and time off of work. I personally learned a fun science experiment that you can do at home in frigid temps: boil water and throw it outside. Bam! Snow. I also learned through our District Facebook page that you can go outside and blow bubbles with the kids when it's this cold and watch them freeze in the air (the bubbles, not the kids). Add food coloring for extra pizzazz.
Since schools were out and we had a bit more time in the office, we decided to put our plastic bottlecaps to use and make some art to illustrate the beauty of upcycling. We've been wanting to make something for a while. Check out our mural:
Yay! Although we ran out of blue, we love it and are working to make it a completed work of art. There are so many great ideas on Pinterest regarding ways to use bottlecaps; everything from garden sculptures and murals to lamps and curtains. You would be so impressed with yourself if you finished one on your own, so give it a go!
Lastly, Gwen and I are super excited for all of the things that we have coming up on the calendar. I just bet there might be some opportunities that YOU would be interested in!
Please call or email with any questions.
Some upcoming events include:
We hope to work with you in 2014 to spread the message of conservation!
Happy New Year!
