This week, the students started to think about their community and its resources. The students completed a group task called, Who Serves You? where the students researched contact information for their city council members, the mayor, state representatives, federal representatives, etc -- even the president elect! The students will need to refer to these resources throughout the year.
We also discussed our upcoming field trips surround MLK Day (it's a day on!).
On Saturday, January 17th, students will have the opportuniti to attend the 16th Annual Hands On Atlanta Martin Luther King, Jr. Service Summit. Students will particpant in activities and attending youth service seminars.
Monday, January 19th (MLK Day), the students will kick off their service. Students and family members are invited to serve at John Hope Elementary in the King District with environmental and beautification projects.
Permission forms were passed out for both.
Finally, the students completed a Community Assets & Needs assessment and decided that the issue they would like to address for Global Youth Service Day will be homelessness and homeless reflief. More to come as they learn more about the issue and start to develop their project for April!
