TERRACYCLE
Are you spring cleaning? Are you going through your cabinets and clearing out the clutter? Don't forget to TerraCycle those old or expired beauty products that you may be tossing. The Beauty brigade is the largest and, in my opinion, the easiest brigade to collect. Basically, any product you put on your body or hair is included. This brigade also takes plastic disposable contact containers / blister packs. However we can only take the plastic part, please pull off the silver top before TerraCycling the bottom.
Brigade Spotlight: Personal Care and Beauty Brigade takes ANY and ALL brands of:
1. Hair care items such as shampoo bottles and caps, conditioner bottles and caps, hair gel tubes and caps, hair spray bottles and triggers, and hair paste plastic jars and caps
2. Skin care items such as disposable contact blister packs, lip balm tubes, face soap dispensers and tubes, face lotion bottles, tubes and plastic jars, deodorant, plastic soap wrapping, body wash containers, soap tubes and dispensers, body lotion dispensers and bottles, shaving foam tubes (no cans), contact cleaner bottles and hand lotion bottles and tubes
3. Cosmetics such as lipstick, lip gloss tubes, mascara tubes, eye shadow cases, bronzer cases, foundation bottles, powder cases, eyeliner cases, eyeliner pencils, eye shadow tubes, concealer tubes, concealer sticks, and lip liner pencils
Please note: We CAN NOT take metal cans or glass containers, but we can take the plastic top / spray tip / pump top. So pull off the plastic top to your empty aerosol can of sunscreen before you toss the can.
MOMS IN PRAYER
This is the last time to pray for our school, kids and community, as a group, before spring break! Join us this Friday at 8:45 to pray specifically for Lori Bolt, Kristi Slotsema, Kristin Lautenbach, and board members Ryan Musch and Tom Quist. As always, you are welcome to submit prayer requests anytime to Gina Huizingh at gsolle44@yahoo.com.

DON’T OVER-PAY FOR COLLEGE! Parents & Students: Are you worried about how you will pay for college? Do you worry about the amount of college debt students are graduating with? To help with these concerns, South Christian is hosting a workshop on Thursday, March 21, at 7:00 pm. Joe Harmon, a local financial planner who helps families plan for how they will pay for college, will lead this free event. The goal of the night is to inform parents and students on the steps needed to find the right college at the right price to avoid racking up massive loans. Here is what will be covered:
- Lay out the specific responsibilities of the parent, student and family for achieving college success.
- How to align student’s qualifications and preferences with colleges of greatest affordability.
- How to enhance a student’s competitive position to create more college choices and opportunities for scholarships
- Educate parents on strategies to get as much money as possible and wisely pay the remaining cost.
- Students and parents are both welcome to attend. While sign-up isn’t mandatory, we would like to have an idea of how many people will be attending. Please email Dave DeBlecourt (ddeblecourt@schs.org) to let him know if you (and a spouse and child) plan to attend
