Send in Your Cans for the Can Lady Project
What is The Can Lady Project? It is an effort to demonstrate the value of recycling to kids in the community in hopes of getting them to recycle. The Can Lady collects aluminum cans collected at schools to sell them for scrap, and she uses all the money to fund grants for teachers in public schools. She has already been visiting classrooms at Sidener this week to see what teachers need.
Please send your aluminum cans to school for the Can Lady.

The Indianapolis Children's Choir is Looking for Wonderful Singers!
1st-3rd grades:
The ICC’s Preparatory Choir is a non-auditioned experience for 1st through 3rd-grade students available at several locations throughout central Indiana. Children are introduced to choral music in the rehearsal setting and take part in a choir where singing, learning, and fun take place! Participating in Preparatory Choir is an outstanding way for children to explore their interest in music and singing. Students meet once per week. Learn more at https://icchoir.org/preparatory-choir/
4th-5th grades:
The ICC’s Beginning Level Choirs through Advanced Choirs are for 4th – 9th graders and students are placed in a choir based on auditions. The Beginning Level Choirs meet once per week at various locations around Indianapolis. These beginning-level singers are in grades 4–7 and have demonstrated the ability to sing in tune and a readiness to develop sight-reading and harmonic skills. Learn more at https://icchoir.org/blc/
