Can you dig it?

Today we had another Green Carnival meeting at Central High School. I still think it worked out so nicely that we were able to collaborate with them for the Green Carnival. We brought the supplies we had bought earlier in the week. The students in the environmental club at Central High School meet have been meeting for the Green Carnival Tuesdays and Thursday after school. Any time someone from our Summit group is able to make it, we meet up with them and see what we can do to help.

At this meeting the students were preparing everything for the Green Carnival booths. We helped make some signs for the small zoo they’re going to have. Brandi said they think there will be owls and snakes and maybe a few other animals. We also helped prepare some bird feeders made out of empty 2-liter soda bottles and milk jugs. I think the kids will really enjoy the carnival, there’ll be so much going on! There’s a lot to get done before it happens in a week, but once it’s done it’ll be great.

Then on Sunday we’re going to help out in the Victim’s Memorial Garden. I hope the weather’s decent. We were going to plant flowers there yesterday, but it turns out that it’s supposed to get down to freezing this weekend! Which I’m not excited about and the flowers wouldn’t be either, I’m sure. But I think it’ll be a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

As always we have trouble managing all of our schedules so that we can all go to these events. The end of the semester is a hectic time for everyone. Stress is high, but I think we've kept our cool. I would say scheduling and communication is still something we all have difficulty with, but we’re learning! And living and Summit and sharing this experience has definitely helped us to learn to work better as a leadership team.
