This week, Girlstart students (and future geologists!) reviewed physical weathering and the slow changes to Earth’s surface caused by weathering, erosion, and deposition from water, wind, and ice. They learned about the formation of four different types of sand dunes and came up with different solutions to prevent sand dune migration.
Local Austin Jewelry Line Ruby & Violet Supports Girlstart
This Valentine’s, local Austin jewelry line Ruby & Violet is giving you the perfect excuse to buy just a little something for yourself. Or maybe a cute little something for your daughter, sister, Mom, or Aunt with a gift that gives back.
Ruby & Violet has designed two beautiful necklaces specifically in support of Girlstart. Through the end of February, 30% of each necklace purchased goes directly to Girlstart.
“We chose a single, softly shaped pearl for the adult necklace, and a row of seed pearls that’s perfect for young girls. The pearl was an easy choice for a necklace that supports Girlstart. Pearls represent femininity, feminine wisdom, and charity, and they are considered precious and pure. Pearls are created slowly over time and are a beauty created from within. Perfect for both us and the beautiful, strong girls in our lives, ” said Megan Wells, founder of Ruby & Violet.
Thank you, Ruby & Violet for supporting Girlstart and STEM education for girls! You can find both Girlstart necklaces here at the bottom of the “Necklace” section of the Ruby & Violet website.
