Next week is our education fair and my students created a video to display what we have been doing in Global Logistics, we hope you enjoy it!

SUMS pick up

This week the students have been visiting our local elementary schools to pick up our SUMS kits.  Our warehouse is now overflowing and we will begin the refurb process this friday and it will continue into next week.  We are very excited as this is our first go at the SUMS refurb project. :-)

 

Gearing up for SUMS refurb...

This week in global logsitics we have been gearing up for our SUMS (Students Using Math and Science) refurbishing process.  We have been labeling the horizontal carrousel and filling it with supplies.  We have also been repackaging books for Firstbook.  We have multiple gaylord boxes in our inventory that we must repackage so they are ready for shipment when our invoices start coming in. 

We will begin picking up the SUMS kits on friday from our local elementary schools!

 

 

Target & Firstbook paired up to distribut 1 million childrens books across the USA

This week the Global Logistics classes have been distributing children's books to Columbia County's title 1 elementary schools.  We received 2,600 books to give away.  The students are really enjoying being able to give back to our community.  When visiting Summers Elementary School, four team members from Target joined us!  We were able to go into a classroom and read a story to the class as they followed along with us in their own book.  Below are some pictures from our visit.

Horizontal Carousel Cleaning

This week we are working on cleaning our horizontal carousel so we can begin to stock it with our SUM (Students Using Math & Science) supplies.  We are gearing up for our SUM pick up and refurbish that will begin the week of February 28th.
