The cafeteria was transformed into a flea market from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7, where clothing donations were sold to students wanting to upgrade their wardrobe while also raising money for the Oregon Environmental Council.

This event was organized by a group of seniors who took the school’s brand new Climate Science elective, and created the flea market for their final project. The class prompts students to think about its guiding question: “How will La Salle respond to a warming world?”

Additionally, it allowed the students to think deeply about the implications of the fast fashion epidemic on the planet.
