January 29: This week we discussed Veganism and the Environment. If weren't able to attend the meeting I encourage you to browse the presentation or the blog from this week to learn about this fascinating topic! Announcements: We are beginning virtual volunteer hours! We understand that acquiring volunteer hours during this era of COVID has been incredibly difficult. Through speaking with clubs from other schools and teachers we have figured out a way for us to participate socially distanced and in the safety of our homes. Each activity will be worth a certain amount of hours; depending on the difficulty and quality of the work. Sign up sheets and information can be found on the volunteer tab if you have any questions feel free to contact us!
