For our January monthly meeting we did a recycling projects with the Scholars. First we talked about the importance of recycling and then we made recycled paper! A few days before the students brought in a bunch of old papers that there were going to throw away. We ripped them up into little pieces and let them soak in water for a few days. When it was time for our meeting, this is what took place:

First we had to blend the paper and then spread it out on a piece of cloth.
Here, Milena, Ana & Eddy are helping with that process. |

| Pamela & Cristhian working together to get rid of all the excess water. |
 |
| A group of Guasmo students working together! |
 |
| Once we got rid of the water, some of our students like Ana got creative with some designs . |
 |
| Here is one of the finished pieces of paper! |
After the student meeting, we had a parent meeting with a guest speaker who helped facilitate a conversation about spending time in family, in hopes that our scholars continue to have support both at Starfish and at home. Pictured below are two Starfish moms participating in the icebreaker!
