River clean up in Polk County. Event held Saturday, October 15 at 9am -12pm in Rockmart, Ga. For more information please contact Randy Cook via phone at 678-246-1063 or via email at rcook@cedartowngeorgia.org.
Students were sent home on Friday 9/30, with a bag containing their tie dye shirt or item.
If they chose NOT to tie dye their Fall for the Arts Shirt, it will be coming home soaked in soda ash; all shirts have been pre-soaked to prepare for tie dying. The soda ash solution can be washed out in a regular washing cycle.
For Tie Dyed Shirts:
The shirts still have wet dye on them, so please do not open the bag until you are ready to wash.
Washing Instructions:
Allow your shirt to soak for at least 24 hours to allow for full color saturation.
Remove the rubber bands and rinse the shirt in the sink or with a hose to remove excess dye.
Wash alone with hot water. Remove immediately.
Dry on a high heat setting* or hang dry.
*Heat helps the dye set on the first wash. To prevent fading, use cold water in future washes.
