Volunteers and GPS units needed

The pirate intensive is in need of GPS units that we could borrow for a day.  We also need parents to chaperone students while they use the GPS units to do some geocaching activities. If you have a unit(s) that we could borrow or you are willing to help us do the activity after lunch in the 12:00 to 2:00 time block, please call Leigh Anne or Ken at Steller at 742-4950 or email them at Varee_Ken@asdk12.org or Bonney_Leigh@asdk12.org. We would be very appreciative and flexible with the time arrangements and careful with your GPS units. Thanks for helping out!

Citywide Clean-up

keepanchorageclean

The Citywide Cleanup “Super Sweeper” Program on May 2 is a great way to teach kids the importance of not littering and it’s also a lot of fun. Jointly coordinated by the Anchorage School District and the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, the Super Sweeper Program challenges elementary, middle, private and high schools to get together to clean trash around their school and in their neighborhood.

Calling all Steller students! Families are welcome to join our student volunteers to clean up Anchorage neighborhoods. Pick up your orange bags at Steller Secondary on Saturday, May 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Steller students will be entered to win an IPOD Shuffle!

Important Rules to Follow:

* Be SAFE! Children must be with a buddy at all times. Younger children must be accompanied by an adult or guardian.
* Children should be instructed to remain in familiar areas.
* Children should never pick up sharp objects (broken glass, needles, etc).
* Stay away from busy streets and major highways. Children can cross streets only when an adult is with them.
* Orange trash bags may not be used for household trash, yard clippings or hazardous waste such as a car battery, or household cleaners.
* Return orange bags back to Steller for pick up after 2pm.

Dress appropriately. Rain gear, waterproof shoes and hats are recommended. Don’t forget gloves!!!

Contact Shannon or Wendy if you have any questions or concerns.
