Week #3:

3.

This week, Brooks and I finished going around to homerooms to make announcements. We also decorated three boxes, and placed them around the school. We put one in the main office, one in the square gym, and one in the circle gym. All of the teachers were willing to help us with our project. Most of them suggested that we print out flyers to put around the gym so that they can advertise it to their gym classes. We got in trouble for our flyers this week, so hopefully the group that is responsible for those will come up with new "school appropriate" ideas. The sooner we get those printed and hung up around the school, the sooner the teachers will help us promote our cause.
This week we also got many donations! A number of students gave balls to Brooks and I as we went around to homerooms, and some of the basketball players brought in balls as well. As long as people keep donating, I would say that our project has been very successful so far. The only thing that we need to work on is communicating as a class. I think that we should figure out the commercial situation, and also figure out when the flyers will be printed. As soon as that gets done, more people will know about our fundraiser, and more people will donate. I also think that we should discuss which organization we are donating the balls to, and how we are going to get them there. If we decide on Face to Face, I can obviously bring them there, but if we decide on another organization then we should discuss how we are going to get the balls there. We also need to talk about how we're going to raise awareness in the community, since I have not heard of anything so far. I don't know if we have a Community Group or not. If we do, then we should figure out their plans. If we don't, then we should make one or work on this together as a class. Overall, it was a successful week. Hopefully people keep donating!
