Grade level partners from the school will come out from 12:30 to 2:45 in a rotation.  Then we need to clean-up.  So we will ask for two shifts - 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

5) Friday April 26 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Cumberland Valley Rail Trail - Ship Composts Sign Installation. We will meet at the big rock between the Rail Trail and the Spiritual Center (near the campus Chilling Plant) so we can assemble the sign (it was manufactured for us - really nice), dig the holes, mix the concrete and get the posts set and staked until the concrete hardens up.  Need 4-5 people for this task. 

6) Saturday, April 27 Ship Shape Day and Stream Clean-Up 8:45 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Sign-in at the Fireman's Activity Center on Orange Street (Next to Ship Bev) before 9:00.  T-shirts will be handed out and you will receive instructions and materials and a team (if you don't want to go to the stream) for clean-up.  For those interested in the stream clean-up you will be assigned a "reach" of the stream and materials to collect trash that you remove from the stream and bank.  Wear old clothes and shoes that can get wet if you want to go in the water. (Sign-up below)   

Some reminders...
When you participate in an outdoor field-based service-learning activity... What should you wear?

1) Wear sturdy shoes with a good tread/traction (no open toe, no flip flops, etc.) that you don't mind getting dirty.  Hiking shoes are great, sneakers are Ok.  Just remember you could get muddy/wet.

2) Wear long pants (old jeans). Trust me - you want this protection. You need to protect your legs from anything and everything!

3) Plan for the weather... A coat/rain coat/heavy sweater with layers and a t-shirt. Should you get warm you can always peel off layers.

4) Wear a hat to cover your head and keep sun out of your eyes.

5) Bring a pair of work gloves if you have them.

6) Use sun-screen for all exposed parts and hand sanitizer frequently.

7) Use some bug spray.  Pants/long sleeves are good - as your first and best defense.

Bring a water bottle.
