Do You Want A Custom-Designed Compost or Worm Bin?

The 8th grade Living Environment classes will be designing compost bins for prospective clients in the community as part of our Cycle 1 project. If you are interested in receiving a custom home/work-sized worm or compost bin as part of our project, please contact Chelsea! We are in need of ~20 clients. The bins will be designed to your personal needs (i.e. indoor/outdoor, size, location, or any other custom features you might want). If interested, we will ask you to fill out a short survey for our students so they can meet your specific needs. Excited to hear from you soon. 

Donate Feminine Products for the Girls' Bathroom

About a year and a half ago, an ICE student, (now alumni), suggested in a Girls' Leadership meeting, that the school provide feminine products in the girls' bathroom. We agree! Since that time, we've done our best to keep it well stocked - so students can take what they need, when they need it.

If you'd like to help contribute to the effort, please take a look at our Amazon Wishlist specifically for the bathroom. (If you're not so into Amazon, or trying to lighten your carbon footprint and would rather send different products than listed, please feel free, and have them shipped to: 345 E. 15th Street / 5th Floor - rm. 518 (office) / New York, NY 10003

Thank you for all the ways you help support our community!
