Van Dyke also said there would be breakfast available at the front desk in the mornings during finals. Each night from Monday to Wednesday, the council will provide a different snack. Another night is root beer floats. G-K also plans on having doilies available for residents who want to write the names of individuals they are thankful for on them. These can be made during release hours, and the doilies will be displayed in the lobby, Van Dyke said.
Residents then purchase items like board games, diapers, fitted sheets or movies for the recipient.
The recipients are from the Youth Emergency Service and Shelters. Unwrapped donations will be accepted until noon on Dec. 15, Hardie said. Steinmentz also said he thought the challenge from Barnicle was a great idea, but there was not enough interest or time. On the east side, Jewett is doing stress relievers during release hours of finals week. Morehouse and Jewett are having a spaghetti dinner and a movie held in Morehouse on Dec. 15, along with an auction for prizes that have been donated from area businesses.
