What started as sort of a joke between teachers and the principal at Glenwood Springs\u2019 Two Rivers Community School ended up being a small act of goodwill amid the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\n

With the decision last week for area schools to extend their spring breaks and the potential for a lengthier state-ordered closure, TRCS Head of School Jamie Nims got to looking at the supply closet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had eight cases of toilet paper, which is more than enough for the remainder of the school year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

And, not just regular toilet paper rolls, either \u2014 the large ones you find in the restroom stalls at schools and other public facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we decided to offer it to the teachers to take home,\u201d Nims said.<\/p>\n

Given the run on toilet paper along with other items in grocery stores across the country as some people began panic-buying to stock up, someone suggested the school start selling it.<\/p>\n

Joking aside, Nims jumped on the idea and decided to order up even more toilet paper from the school\u2019s supplier in Grand Junction. He\u2019s been selling rolls at cost \u2014 $4 a pop \u2014 out of the school\u2019s transport van in the school parking lot in West Glenwood since Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo Rivers Community School is trying to do our part to help out during these uncertain times,\u201d Nims wrote in a Facebook post. \u201cOddly enough, right now that means distributing toilet paper for those who need it.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the toilet paper rolls won\u2019t fit on a standard home dispenser, it\u2019s functional nonetheless and should get the average user through the current demand shortages, he said.<\/p>\n

In three hours Monday, he said he had sold through the existing supply and ordered another 40 cases or so to distribute for as long as those last. There\u2019s a limit of three rolls per household, and exact change is requested.<\/p>\n

In addition, the school has been reaching out to see if any senior housing centers or other group homes are in need of some extra toilet paper, Nims said.<\/p>\n
