Week Eighteen: Reflection and Moving Forward

It's hard to wind down from such an exciting weekend! We have received much praise from the mural project. Still, after some reflection and discussion, we realized that there is much work to be done for our last project -- Global Youth Service Day and the work we will do with Genesis. The students hung up their posters, completed the entry forms, and went over logistics. They are starting to recruit parent and teacher volunteers to assist in the dodgeball tournament.

Here are the details on fundraiser:
