MLK DAY EVENT JANUARY 20,2020

09

IT WAS A REALLY COLD DAY, THANKFULLY, WE WERE HELPING INSIDE. THERE WERE DONUTS, COFFEES, AND TEA FOR US; I MADE MILK TEA, IT WAS DELICIOUS. AFTER EATING THE DONUTS, WE WERE SPILT INTO TWO TEAMS: A TEAM FOR ORGANIZING THE BASEMENT AND ANOTHER FOR GETTING THINGS OUT. I JOINED THE BASEMENT TEAM. AT FIRST, I WAS ORGANIZING THE COFFEES -CAUSE THEY WERE THE EASIEST- BUT THEN I WAS DISMATLING CARDBOARD BOXES. IT WAS ACTUALLY FUN, ESPECIALLY WHEN I STEP ON THE TOWER OF FLATTEN CARDBOARD BOXES. WHEN WE'RE DONE, WE HAD PIZZAS AND SODAS. I WAS FEELING FAT THAT DAY, SO I GOT TWO PIZZA SLICES AND TWO CUPS OF SODA. THEN, WE HAD ANOTHER JOB TO DO AND THAT WAS TO PAINT THE WOOD GARDEN BOXES. I LOVED THIS PART 'CAUSE I LOVE TO PAINT. THERE WAS A LIMITED AMOUNT OF COLORS BUT THERE WAS WHITE, SO I MADE PINK CLOUDS WITH PINK BACKGROUND. I THINK I DID A GOOD JOB. OLIVIA WANG

IT WAS THE BEST ONE YET. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO SKATE WITH FRIENDS. I LOVED TEACHING PEOPLE TRICKS ON THE RINK. IT WAS EVEN BETTER WHEN WE WOULD ALL SLIP AND FALL. WE WOULD ALL JUST LAUGH IT OFF. ABBY BORSHCHENKO

PLUM BEACH MARSH AND BEACH CLEAN-UP FEBRUARY 1,2020

13

When we arrived at the start booth, they were handing out granola bars and beanies.

Additionally, they handed out trash bags and trash grabbers for the event. After giving a speech about the event, we went and picked up trash. We spent three hours picking up trash and helping the environment. At the end of the event, I had a full bag of trash. It was really heavy. I felt very proud of myself after this event.

The bowling fundraiser was a STRIKE!! lol I haven’t been bowling in so long so it felt nice being able to bowl again. It was especially fun seeing everyone compete against each other and their faces if they got it in the gutter.
