Chris Clark, owner of Nevada Flower Bed, shared his expertise with the students in creating balance, focal points and how to make a bow. Clark also outlined the cost of inputs, and the time it should take a fl orist to create arrangement. The costs were jux-
taposed with varying costs according to supply order, which some students recalled the “economy of scale” lessons from other agriculture education class lessons. Clark donated all of the fl oral materials, including vases. After class, several students delivered their arrangements to faculty and staff to “make their day.” The concept of “make their day” is modeled after the Pike Place Fish Market,

Roland-Story agricultural wood shop class creates flag stands Students in the Roland-Story agriculture shop classes have been working the past few class periods on their latest
challenge – to create miniature flag stands. The premise of the challenge is to allow students to problemsolve how to arrive at
solutions to common problems faced in the wood shop classes. According to Brad Taylor, high school agriculture instruc-
tor, “This activity was designed to challenge students to be able to safely and accurately drill precise angles into hardwood
in order to properly display miniature U.S. flags. In addition, the students then had to figure out the best
way of protecting the wood from drying out while retaining the natural wood appearance of the oak lumber.”

FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM Foster Grandparents (FGP) is a Senior Corps program made possible by a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). The Foster Grandparent Program began in 1965. United Ways of Iowa is the sponsor for the program in Story County. FGP work one-on-one or in small groups and serving between 12 and 40 hours a week, Foster Grandparents provide support in schools, head start programs, and child care centers. They help with literacy and/or math skills, and reinforce values. Eligibility: Volunteers must be 55 years of age or over and have an income below, two times the poverty line. Medical expenses are deducted from income. FGP volunteers receive a small, non-taxable, hourly stipend ($2.65), accident and liability insurance, meals while on duty, reimbursement for transportation, and monthly training.
HANG OUT IN THE TROPICS YEAR-ROUND
position might be the perfect opportunity for you. Conservatory Docents will become familiar with the tropical plants around the perimeter of the Conservatory, such as the fishtail palm and Angel’s Trumpet. Docents will discover how the seasonal center displays are designed and created from our horticulture staff. Docents will get a behind-the-scenes look at how the temperature and humidity levels are controlled. And, during the holiday season, Conservatory Docents will learn how to operate the RG Holiday Express train. The Conservatory Docent position has a lot of similarities with our Butterfly Wing Docent position, but volunteers won’t need to worry about butterflies escaping! Conservatory Docents will greet visitors to the Hughes Conservatory, share information about the plants and current center display, and be available for questions. No plant or train knowledge is necessary to get started.

PEOPLE
Reggie’s Sleepout set for April 26 Under a clear sky or in rain, sleet or snow, three local agencies are challenging Central Iowans to sleep outside on the field of Iowa State University’s Cyclone Sports Complex to raise much-needed funds and awareness to end youth homelessness. Reggie’s Sleepout — Ames will be on Friday, April 26, and will benefit YSS, Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support (ACCESS) and the Emergency Residence Project (ERP). Iowa State University is a presenting sponsor for the event. Reggie’s Sleepout has been a Des Moines staple for 12 years, but in 2017, the event was brought to Ames and Iowa State University. Using tents, sleeping bags and cardboard box structures ranging in design from simple to sophisticated, more than 1,000 campers
are expected to sleep out on the field during Reggie’s Sleepout — Ames. The goal is to raise more than $100,000 through peer-to-peer fundraising and sponsorships to help end youth homelessness in Central Iowa. “Every year, more than 300 children and youth in Story County and surrounding areas are homeless, sleeping in temporary housing, shelters and even vehicles. These are the most vulnerable members of our community, and organizations like YSS, ACCESS and ERP are essential in providing assistance,” said Andrew Allen, president and CEO of YSS. “There is more that can be done to ensure every child has a safe and secure home. Reggie’s Sleepout is a wonderful opportunity for our community to get involved.”
