Have you Googled the benefits of mint lately?

SAY Play campers have and it has benefits beyond its refreshing taste!

A SAY Play camper had a tooth ache and his fellow campers came to the rescue. They pulled some mint from the garden to make a paste to apply to the tooth. Mint is an anti-fungal, anti- bacterial and anti-inflammatory. It is also helpful in relieving tooth aches, headaches and stomach aches.

RECIPE:

  • Add 4 leaves of mint with a table spoon of water and mash up until paste.
  • Apply to the painful or infected area.

SAY Play summer campers were exposed to the basics of building a brand, developing a retail strategy, finding thoughtful collaborations, and building community brand initiatives through the “The Pistons Project.”

Two groups of SAY high school students worked for 6 weeks with professionals from the Detroit Pistons to build their brand and develop a T-shirt design.

The winning group will be announced on the pistons313shop.com and receive recognition during a home Pistons game. The t-shirts will be sold online and in stores at Little Caesars Arena.
