Chagrin Spirit Wear
In recognition of the 50 year anniversary of Earth Day taking place on April 22, 2020, the MakerSpace classroom will be upcycling gently used Chagrin orange, black or white t-shirts & sweatshirts. Your donation will be used by the students at CFIS to create spirit wear tote/grocery bags. Donating these items to the Makerspace is a great way to give a t-shirt or sweatshirt that you have outgrown or no longer wear, a new life. By doing so, you will also be showing your school spirit while at the same time practicing Earth friendly habits. Donations are being collected beginning next week through the month of March. Just look for the orange & black collection bin in the main lobby of the High School.
