Hey Vikings, Do you have used and unwanted cardboard lying around your home or classroom, and you don't know what to do with them? Well, don't trash them just yet!

Bring your clean cardboard (dry, no tape, no staples) and learn how we can repurpose them, divert the amount of trash entering our landfills, and help reduce greenhouse gasses. Drop-offs are also encouraged. See you at our Hilo Community Sustainable Saturday Event!

[RAGL OPENING]
Hi, I’m Mr. Mueller, Long-Term substitute algebra teacher. Something good I’ve read lately is Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Hyperion is a unique and creative Sci-Fi epic. It's got a time-traveling killer robot, space druids that fly around in gigantic trees, a planet where humans and talking dolphins coexist, a girl who is aging backwards, and a secret AI cyber-war. ItʻsIt's a noir murder-mystery, and there's a reincarnation of the 19th-Century poet John Keats for some reason, and the coolest revenge plot I've EVER read! And that's just the first book!
