We're still short by a few items so please feel free to send them along!May 5, 2008 Chris/Friends of Pine Ridge, Thank you everyone for all the board games. The librarian has been scheduling special game days to teach the students the vast variety of games you have sent. The students love them and now are caught playing board games before breakfast. The games are not only teaching them strategies, but teaching them cooperation. We are so blessed to have you. Once again thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Barbara, Staff, and Red Shirt Students BTW, Re-Member can still use plenty of CFLs for the Earth Day Donation Drive, and our new Item of the Week is vegetable seed packets. Thanks everyone! 04/29/08Two camping tents have been generously donated to the Emergency Youth Shelter so the staff can take the teens on some camping outings starting in May, but they are still in need of sleeping bags and mats. Click here for info on how you can help the kids get to the lake!4/21/08In honor of Earth Day today, we are kicking off a new donation drive for CFLs (compact fluorescent light bulbs) for Re-Member. We are currently working on a donation drive for Re-Member to send them painting supplies to help with their repair work in the homes of the elders and the disabled. While they are in those homes, Re-Member volunteers will replace all regular light bulbs with your donated CFLs to both help the earth and save on utility costs for many Pine Ridge Reservation families. and please be sure to let me know what you are sending so I can keep track for Re-Member. Thanks so much and Happy Earth Day! 4/20/08A sad commentary on the state of health care for our friends on the reservation. |
