February Home Groups Site Visits

2. Home Groups: We had several reminders via E-Day meeting, chapel announcements for facilitators to contact their groups, and reminder chapel announcements, but participation was poor. We are considering cancelling home groups for the rest of the year as well as the April site visits.

Challenge 20/20: Only Deric was unable to come. No members of the environmental club attended. We toured the facility, learned how architects build with LEED codes now and how they will build in the future. Service-Learning took Mr. Hukill to lunch to thank him for his time and preparation. The group earned 2 hours of service. Sarah and Josh participated. A thank you note should be sent to Mr. Hukill.

Special Care: Justin, Nina, Haley and Molly did not attend. Sasha stated that the visit was successful. We had a tour, which we did not have the first time and the girls took markers and paper to have an art activity. The group they chose was the after school program. Next time, Sasha suggested to make instruments for every one to play together. The group thought that was a great idea. The group earned 2.5 hours of service. Participants were: Sasha, Caitlin Hendee, Sarah, and, Dorothy Christie

Peace Jam: No freshmen attended and only 3 members of the CDC group attended. Johnesha said that the visit was successful because they shared their love for dancing and learned how to be patience, not only with the kids, but they could apply patience to other aspects of their lives. Mrs. Clay shared the Six Billion Paths to Peace with a couple of members of the club and will continue coming once a week to Boys and Girls Club to share and promote the creation to paths to peace at Boys and Girls Club. Next time we come as a group, Mrs. Clay will teach zumba to everybody. Johnesha, D.J. and Briana Barton attended.

Pets to Oklahoma Humane Society: Probably the most dissapointing of the home groups. We had a bus because only 5 people stated to Gabby that they were not attending. Gabby was the only student who went to OHS. The volunteer coordinator had gotten a room to be cleaned by the volunteers and Shelby had an art activity to start a fundraiser which at the brainstorming stage will be called Wrags for Wags. If the fundraiser is approved, Mrs. Clay suggested to bring puppies to school to motivate people to donate. Shelby said the youth board is encouraging other school with a food party of some sort. Mrs. Clay suggested Gabby to contact the Richard to see if his father's company could donate donuts for a winning class. Gabby will also investigate an off campus day to the class who brings the most
donations.

No Musicians Inc Home Group Site Visit. I have the group going this coming Wednesday.

Elderly Group: Braeden thought there would be 5 freshmen coming, but none showed up. Deric, Jerry, Vincent were the only ones who came. They taught computers 101 and played instruments during lunch. Braden brought a DVD of Shayna Maidel, but it did not work and he used his voice to promote Curtains during lunch. 5 residents attended the performance.
