On November 22, our school will have the opportunity to be a part of a special service project that allows our students to "®LOOK OUT FOR THE LEFT OUT" in a very hands on way!
When Calla Woods was a 3rd grader at GLE, she started a slime shop to earn money to help at-risk kids living in Tinca, Romania. Calla's heart to do something that matters with the simple (and slimy) means she had available to her underlines the truth that kids don't have to wait to be a grown-up to change the world; every kid can impact the world in beautiful ways through making kind choices NOW.
As Calla's elementary school, we're so grateful that Grant Line can continue to be a part of Calla's story in a brand new way: our students will be making Calla's slime recipes together! All of the slime that GLE students make will be donated to Calla Lily Slime Shop and sold online all across the country to help provide basic needs for families living in extreme poverty in Tinca, Romania through the Casa Calla project. The GLE family will help make hundreds of pounds of slime and that will raise thousands of dollars for the Casa Calla project!
We recommend students wearing clothes you won't mind getting dirty (although slime comes out of clothing with hot water or vinegar). We also recommend students wear their hair back in a pony tail so it doesn't get in the slime or in your way while making it.

GLE students can multiply their impact by purchasing some of Calla's slime online! Between Nov 22-Dec 13 they can enter promocode "yellowjackets" to receive a 20% discount on all slimes in appreciation for all of their hard work!
