OREGON CITY TOGETHER PROVIDES THESE FREE FOR OREGON CITY TEACHERS and COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Large blow-up brain to attract students’ attention
When blown up, the brain is about 4 feet tall and 5 feet wide. It weighs about 45 pounds. It comes in a travel case that fits in most vehicles. The brain is pretty easy to blow-up…it requires an electrical outlet and about 10 minutes to do so. Please email Anne Haynes at Anne.Haynes@orecity.k12.or.us if you are interested in scheduling.
Provide the date(s) you want the brain and the length of time you will be using it. If you just know the approximate time period that is fine. An OCT volunteer will deliver it to you. We may be able to pick it up as well but you are responsible for returning it to Jennings Lodge Community School by the designated deadline. Scheduling is first-come, first-served.
This educational project is funded with a Clackamas County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Grant.
