Penny Wars are on! Babies
win!
You
can "change" life for babies! All throughout March we're
going to be raising money to buy baby formula, which will be sent to Haiti
with a local mission group. This project was started on campus by a
student... and now nursing students are going to pitch in! But of
course, being nursing students, we have to kick it up a notch so we're
starting a war--a penny war! Here's how it works:
When you drop
silver coins or paper money into your class collection jar, you're contributing
toward your class total. But if anyone puts pennies in your class jar,
those pennies are subtracted from your class total. So if you want your
class to win, put lots of silver and paper in
your own class jar, and even more pennies in the other classes' jars!
So for example: If Katy, a generous BSN senior, puts a $5 bill in her
class jar, and then Anne, a competitive second-year ASN student, puts
100 pennies in the BSN Seniors jar, the BSN seniors only have $4
counted towards their total for the fund drive.
The
collection jars are in the Nursing office and we’ll be sharing updates
with you as the month goes on. Game on!
Dynamic students needed at
Steel Dynamics
Show what a "dynamic" person you are by volunteering for a
health fair at Steel Dynamics, Inc. on April 11 and 15 from 0830-1630
each day. A group of our fellow nursing students is organizing this
event and they need our help with basic assessments (vitals, BMI, etc.)
and other miscellaneous duties to keep the health fair running. You can
sign up to work a shift on Julie Richardson's door in the Nursing
Commons (look for the door with the cute dogs on it). Steel Dynamics is
in Columbia
City, roughly at
the corner of Highway 30 and County
Line Road. (Directions will be sent to
those who sign up.) For more information, contact Sarah Maffey at maffeysn@gmail.com .
