Sunday, December 16: Visit SIFE Gift Table to Help Nashville Immigrant and Refugee Students

This Sunday, December 13, visit the SIFE Gift table to help support Nashville’s immigrant and refugee students. One immediate and pressing material need for these students is access to basic hygiene products, which are are quickly exhausted through use by an entire family or household. At the SIFE Gift table you can purchase a share in bulk ingredients so that the students in the SIFE Math Classroom can produce their own deodorants, toothpastes, and other personal hygiene products while learning about fractions, decimals, ratios, and pre-algebra concepts in a meaningful hands-on way. Thank you for making a difference. Click to read more…
