Students Send Warm Clothes to Standing Rock
While many have been supporting the Standing Rock protest on Facebook, our students went the extra mile. They organized to collect warm winter wear for the kids who will be camping throughout the winter in order to protect the Missouri River from the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. They collected over 100 items, including snow pants, jackets, boots, and gloves, then sold concessions at this weekend's matinee performance of Little Shop of Horrors to raise donations and postage money.
Tandem Friends juniors visit South Dakota each fall and are moved and changed by the story of the Oglala Sioux. They created a scholarship fund last year for Oglala Lakota College and many felt called to do something to support those at Standing Rock. Many thanks to the students, to our generous community for the donations, and to history teacher Jason Farr for leading the effort. Quaker values in action!
