Eckstein Middle School has been working on the Fundred Dollar Bill Project, a hands-on art project to advocate for funding to clean up polluted soils in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina’s flooding left a legacy of contamination that is affecting the health of children and adults living in the city. The project invites citizens to create an image of a dollar bill. These “fundreds” will be collected and taken to Washington D.C. to be offered in exchange for actual funding for cleanup. Eckstein Middle School will host a pick up: the special armored car pictured here will make a call. To participate, print Fundred Bills from the web-link, work ‘em up, send ‘em in – templates and directions as well as places to send fundreds can be found on the website. Fundreds may also be hand-delivered to the vegetable oil powered bank truck on February 11, 1:30 p.m., Eckstein Middle School, 3003 NE 75th St., Seattle. And notice: the word fun is in the title of this project.
