From Auntie Debi
I just wanted to share this with
our Tribe. My niece, Theresa Geiszler,
made these dreamcatchers for her
daughter Airka’s school friends. Then
they took them to school so the kids
could finish decorating them, making
them into either bracelets or necklaces.
The kids had a great time and they all
turned out beautifully.
1 am very proud of you. EC. for
taking the time to do this for your
daughter Airka’s class!

New year, new calendar, new employees highlight STEP’S move into 2012
Another year is here and with it the
time to make a resolution about reducing
your environmental footprint.
What will you change? It’s easier to
make one change at a time, so here are
some suggestions:
•
•
Use rechargeable batteries.
Recycle regular and rechargeable
batteries.
•
•
Change your lights to CFLs (compact
fluorescent lights).
Use cloth napkins instead of paper.
