It’s so easy being Green

Happy Weekend Peabody,

So has anyone seen those giant posters around campus that look like an american flag made of recycled materials?  Well if you haven’t, no worries that’s why you have me! Well, they are for RECYCLEMANIA, a (fierce) competition between schools in the area to see who can waste less and recycle more.  The competition starts February 5 and continues until March 31st.  Its so easy all you have to do is recycle! Temple is clearly the best at everything else so this competition should be easy, right? The kickoff for Recyclemania is February 1st at the men’s basketball game where they will be giving away all kinds of free swag as well as doing recycling promotions.  Other Events for recycle mania include:

Valentines Day Crafternoon
February 8, 7:00pm – 8:00pm
Tuttleman Hall Lobby
Students for Environmental Action will be hosting a Valentine’s Day crafting session, using all recycled materials. Learn how to make a “box of kisses” and other fun gifts. This session will be hands on, so come with that special someone in mind. Crafting materials will be provided. Inspiration required.

Artist Talk: Recycled Artist In Residency (RAIR)
February 23, 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Tyler School of Art, Room B-04
Fern Gookin and Billy Dufala from the Recycled Artist in Residency (RAIR) will be discussing their work with RAIR in promoting connections between sustainability and art.

Remember, Green is sexy.  (or it’s the new black I can’t remember which)

Homecoming Wrap Up

Hey Y’all!

I hope everyone had an awesome homecoming week.  The football game was awesome good job kicking some buffalo butt, but honestly the highlight of the game for me was the band, the 90’s totally rock my socks.  Also, Kid Cudi good times.  However most importantly, was the homecoming banner contest…….

 TA-DA! Thanks to all that helped out and for those of you who don’t know we won FIRST PLACE!  YEAH BUDDY!

Homecoming Banner

Calling all Peabodians,

As you all know homecoming is this week and, part of the festivities include a banner decorating contest and we want everyone to be a part of it.  The banner is supposed to represent Peabody hall so it would be great if we could have as many residents as possible help out with making it.  We are starting the banner tonight and if you help you get full bragging rights when we win.  No help = no bragging rights, okay you can have some but only because peabody is the best dorm ever.  Really though, tonight at the studio be there.

P.S: We took second place last year, which is good but it would be awesome if we got first.  In the words of Ricky Bobby, ” If you’re not first you’re last”

Welcome Peabuddies!

Hey peabodians,

Welcome to the Peabody’s Palette, the official blog of Peabody hall. Through out the year we will be posting updates for all of the fun shenanigans that go on in Peabody, were talking everything from Peabody prom to Ziggy the cat. This is the first official post of the school year, very exciting but also very delayed, so there’s lots to talk about.  First,  this week is National Coming Out Week, (NCOW for short) and so many great events are happening this week, on and off campus.  NCOW fest is taking place at the bell tower on Tuesday October 11th from 12 -1 so go out and show your support.  For a more detailed list of the events visit the NCOW website.  Secondly, Halloween is just around the corner so you know what that means… halloween parties.  More specifically Peabody’s Halloween party so break out your best costume because there’s gonna be a contest as well as food, games, music, and prizes all in peabody’s basement (ridiculous huh?).  So come party with Peabody October 27th from 7-9:30. Be there or be square, or better yet, come dressed as a square. Still not enough Halloween spirit?  After the party we will be showing a scary movie  for all you party animals who like to stay up late.  Also, if anyone would like to DJ the party please post on the Facebook group and let us know. Lastly, Senate hosts General Assembly meetings the first Thursday of every month.  So come out and tell us what you think of peabody, or just come out to meet us and hangout, either way come out we like the company.
