Operation Bed Roll UPDATE: Keep Those Plastic Bags Coming!

UPDATE:  To date, we have collected over 2500 plastic bags!  Thank you for such a great response!  We are still collecting so keep those plastic bags coming!

DROP BAGS OFF IN THE MAIN OFFICE!

Operation Bed Roll provides mats to the 200+ homeless veterans in Columbia. These mats are made entirely of plastic grocery bags by creating "plarn" (plastic bag yarn) and crocheting it into mats. It​ ​takes​ ​about​ ​500​ ​bags​ ​to make​ ​one​ ​mat!​ ​The finished product will provide a lightweight, quick drying, insect free, insulated bed roll to be distributed through the local United Way of the Midlands to citizens who sleep outside on the ground. There​ ​will​ ​be​ ​a​ ​monthly​ ​contest​ ​to​ ​see​ ​which​ ​class​ ​can​ ​collect​ ​the most​ ​bags!​ Operation Bed Roll Founding Partners include the City of Columbia Arts Center, City of Columbia Recycling and Sustainability, Sustainable Midlands, EdVenture, United Way of the Midlands and Sonoco Recycling. The photos included are from Lexington Medical Center's Every Woman Blog which helps explain the process. Would you like to help make plarn and/or crochet?

United States Air Force Academy High School Visit

Once is Not Enough

In addition to being the home of a renowned Viking Drill Team, Spring Valley JROTC is fast becoming known as a place where siblings come to thrive. This year JROTC Vikings have no less than 17 cadets whose older brother/sister invited or recruited them to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Brothers and sisters alike are discovering what was good enough for one, is certainly good enough for the second sibling coming along. The Air Force premier citizenship program has not only become a place of belongingness but a place where students will learn to soar wherever their dreams will take them. JROTC is a family affair!
