Going Purple to Raise Awareness about the Opioid Epidemic
In 2017, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency. The color purple symbolizes the healthy decisions we make each day. It takes all of us — the entire village — to fight this battle.
Have you noticed the PURPLE decorations around town?
Wednesday
Workshop 2:00 PM
Are you a Maker?
A makerspace is a room that contains tools and components, allowing people to enter with an idea and leave with a project. The best part is that makerspaces are communal. The goal is to work together to learn, collaborate, and share.
Bring a project of your own choosing or learn something new. Whatever tools we have will be shared. Hone a skill or challenge your creative problem solving. Call ahead or just drop in to explore materials and ideas. Bring friends. Once you come, we know you will be back!
Early Release Wednesdays are a great time to bring students! There are activities for ALL AGES.
Participating in creative activities has been shown to improve our cognitive skills and create a confident and optimistic attitude.
