We, humans became so into

IzzaT — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:21:22 -0500

We, humans became so into innovation that we forgot our useless trash at the side that makes clutter to our environment. That is why some explorers set out on journeys to discover things about other people and other places, and Karen Hawes is just that sort. Karen Hawes is going on a different sort of journey, though – she is going on a trip to look at other people's useless junk, and she's described as a trashtronaut. Her journey is detailed at www.trashtrip.com. Her trip will take her from Alaska to Argentina – it would take most people a hefty cash advance to go – looking at people into junk collecting and processes of waste disposal. One man's trash is another's treasure, it's said, and it appears that Karen Hawes is one to brave payday loans and landfills to see what treasures we've left behind.

I'm sure you'd be able to find that out at the meeting. From what I've heard, it sounds like those already involved are mainly looking for ideas for how to approach the next referendum and help with getting information out to the public.

Is it an advertising

Ray Sandey — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 13:10:48 -0600

Is it an advertising committee to get a referendum passed or is it to put together a school plan that people would like to pass a referendum for.

The first committee meeting

Katrina Styx — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 12:49:00 -0600

The first committee meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Feb. 2 in the district office (Jordan Middle School). And yes, they are looking for members.

They donated their time to

bluemoon07 — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 17:32:20 -0600

They donated their time to come perform at all three schools today. Their concert on Monday night will have a fee for tickets w/proceeds going to the JHS music department.

On a side note, I realize you're upset with the cuts being made in our schools, as many of us are, but you are going to have to find a way to help make a change and not be so bitter about everything... Put your energy into helping pass the referendum next fall, I can guarantee there will be a committee set up who will be looking for members.

I hope we are not paying

I hope we are not paying them to come play at our school...
God knows we don't have the money, since we do "have to" cut all of that other stuff from the budget.

My favorite weekend to live

goldengopher — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:28:39 -0500

My favorite weekend to live in Jordan starts tonight! In particular I love the car show and checking out all of the old corvettes.

Plus I hear Awakenings coffee shop will be open tonight. I highly recommend everyone to stop in while you're at the car cruise. Try the grilled chicken bacon ranch sandwich. It's my favorite.
