Meeting With Dr. D

During lunch last week we met with Dr. Davidson to dicuss our ideas of the school store. In my opinion my group's metting with Dr. Davidson went well. We presented our ideas about making a school store in the room down stairs in the lunch room. We told him that we planned on selling school supplies, candy/treats, and school hoodies and shirts. We also presented him with the idea of having a NHD season. During the season we would be selling items needed for NHD projects. Dr. Davidson responded to our idea by simply saying he thought it was a great idea and that he was waiting on an opportunity to work on the school store.

Service Learning Meeting 5

This week we did pretty good we revisited the school store to check out what we would have to do in there. We counted 4 sockets however we weren't sure if they worked or not. We got somewhat of a draft or blueprint of how we would set up the shelves and cash register. Then we went up to the IMC to complete the bill and find more supplies needed for our school store.

Service Learning Meeting 4

This week was better than the last we completed everything we could do without Dr. Davidson's permission. We completed the letter, we had a bill rough draft, contacted companies that may donate suppies to us. Everyone worked extremely well also. There was a little bit of noise coming from the other group but in spite of it they completed their work. Now all we have to do is meet with Dr. Davidson and find out if he believes if the school store is a good idea.

Service Learning Meeting 3

The third week of service learning was our best yet. Everyone participated in the planning of how we were going to go about setting up the store. We split up into two groups, one group wrote a letter to Dr. Davidson so that we could set up a meeting with him and get his permission to continue working on the school store, while the other group wrote down things we would need in the store and the rules that should be followed when in the store. The whole How to Survive guide thing was pretty much thrown out of the window.

Service Learning Meeting 2

In our second secession of service learning we found out that the idea for the Student Lounge was already taken by another group. After that news my group members tried to come up with another idea on what we should be doing for our service learning project. People began shouting answers and just about everyone in the room started getting off task. Then some became angry and decided to leave the group becaus ethey siad we weren't going anywhere and that they were wasting their time. Even with the chaos we came up with the idea that we should start a school store. Ashlee decided that she would write a letter to the student government to get permission for our idea. Also someone would be writing a grant to Ballard Spar and Gilder Lehrman so we could get some money for supplies.

Service Learning Meeting 1

Our first meeting of service learning was just a whole lot of confusion. The reason for it was because simply people did not know what we were supposed to be doing. The entire time we were in the room we were brainstorming on what the main purpose of our group was supposed to be. The title of the group was Mentoring but that is just a typo. In my opinion the true purpose of our group was to help the school. So we thought of ways to do so. We thought of making a How To Survive Con High Guide and a Student Lounge. The title of the guide explains itself, how to survive Con High. The guide would contain suggestions on how to do well in our school. The Student Lounge was just a place where students could relax and talk to a mentor or someone about problems they were having in the school or it could be used as a place for peer mediation.
