It is almost Thanksgiving break and the YESS mentors have had a busy week. This week the mentors went to a career fair. Only the 8th graders were allowed to go during 4th and 5th period. I was really glad the counselors and principals included me on the trip since most of my students now are 8th graders. I accompanied a few students on their "college visit" and helped them prepare questions to ask the admissions table.
This week we began preparation for our clothing drive. The YESS mentors will be sponsoring a clothing drive for A Precious Child. This week students made posters and announcing to classes that the drive will start after Thanksgiving break.
Today, Belen Hondermann from the DoubleTree hotel- Kids Care project (also Shaw Heights Alum) came to do a recycling community project with the YESS mentors. A month ago she had contacted Shaw Heights asking if the hotel could work with the leaders in the school to build a display for the hotel. The display is made with 100% recyclable materials. Her information was passed on to me from the office and today she came to talk about the recycling project at the hotel, and brought 75 cookies for the students. All of the projects the students made will be put on display at the DoubleTree Hotel on Yates Drive through the Holiday season. The group of students that win for the best snowflake will win a pass to the pool with their friends.
Delicious 310 calorie cookies!
