The following are the themes for the week: 

Monday April 20th– This is crazy recycle hat day and thrifted clothes day. Wear your older siblings’ clothes–they love that!   Use recyclable items you have around the house to make a crazy hat!

Tuesday April 21st- This is virtual twin day: Get in touch with a friend or family member and dress the same as them. (You don’t have to be in the same house.) With your twin, make a personal pledge, write Congressman Delgado about an environmental issue you care about, or promote involvement with our local government!

Wednesday April 22nd– In honor of the 50th Year of Earth Day and to honor this beautiful planet on which we live, wear your favorite nature shirt and take a picture of yourself in your favorite nature spot. Paint a rock with an Earth Friendly message and leave it for someone else to see. Take a walk and pick up any garbage you find. (Remember: social distance!) Check out the  Virtual Earth Day Activities.

Thursday April 23rd- This is Spirit Day ! Wear PURPLE and GOLD ​and take a hike or picnic somewhere in our beautiful valley!  Remember to social distance!

Friday April 24th- Fancy Friday! Dress up in your nicest clothes, and think about what life would have been like for your family in the 18th century by powering down: use minimal power, have a candlelit dinner, turn off the computer, turn off your phone (except for pictures!), read, and talk!

LET’S CELEBRATE RHINEBECK AND OUR PLANET!
