Week Six: Stating the Problem

Happy New Year! We really started the year off right with a generous $50 gift card from Target at Edgewood for the students' project planning budget. Thank you, Target!

Students really started working on their multi-tasking skills this week as we are starting to gear up for the 16th Annual Hands On Atlanta Martin Luther King Service Summit held at the King Center on Saturday, January 17th. Students will also be participating in their first day of service on Martin Luther King Jr. Day - It's a day ON!

Students used their new knowledge of the subject of homelessness to complete a Community Mapping Tree - root causes, effects, and available resources. Students started the brainstorming process for specific project ideas. They will continue to cultivate this list during the MLK Service Summit. The students also developed a script and called some community-based organizations like Open Door, the Atlanta Community Food Bank, and Task-Force for project ideas.

Finally, students also worked on their presentation that they are going to give the school for morning meeting on Friday, January 23rd. They delegated tasks and created an outline.

***Students - Get in your permission forms for the MLK Service Summit and the Service Kick-off!
