We did our first "real" service work today! The entire campus went and spent most of the day at a local middle school building a track. My team sent most of the morning talking with different classrooms about AmeriCorps NCCC. We were split into groups of two and assigned classrooms. Molly and I were given three classrooms to talk to, two seventh grade and one sixth grade. We introduced ourselves, said where we were from, and why we joined the program. Then we explained the program and the different things we do. The kids were then allowed to ask questions. Based on their questions the kids seemed engaged and interested in what we had to say. I have to mention a couple of questions that were asked because while you will see why. One girl asked Molly and I if we have time off to shop and another group got asked if we had time to sleep. Both of which I thought were very cute. The other teams worked with the eighth graders building a 1/4 mile track. The only down side to today was having to leave campus at 7:15 this morning...agh.
Tomorrow the Water Unit is going to rake leaves for people around Denver for the morning and doing team building in the afternoon. On Sunday four of us are going to do ISP hours at the Children's Museum in Denver. On Halloween a group of us are going back to the Museum to do ISP's for their Halloween Party. I put some photos of the campus so take a look!
