Today for senior project we started the day off by going to the store to get more spray paint and painters tape for the gym. We then went over to the Merrimack County Jail to work on the gym. We started off by painting the handball court and then the paint for the basketball court. We ended up using all of our spray paint so we ordered more from the jail for our next visit where we will finish the lines. After the jail, we came back to campus and did sign ups at lunch. At lunch we also collected the 3 dollar fee for the basketball tournament. After lunch, we put together a rough draft of the bracket, which will be double elimination. We also wrote down our rules for the tournament and put it onto a poster board. We then went to Hannaford's and got Gatorades and waters for our basketball tournament which we will sell along with the chips.

TOTAL HOURS: 36.5

Today for senior project we went to Concord to collect some of the tools for the jail gym. These tools were things like the tape measure and painters tape to. We needed these to make the lines in the gym for the basketball hoop, handball court, and track. After practices and games we got together to talk about what we were going to say for the presentation we will make at assembly as well as talk over our proposal for the jail. This proposal has to be approved by the assistant superintendent of the jail before we can begin to work on our project. We took our time with this because it needs to be detailed regarding exactly what we want in the jail gym. Although our day was cut short from practice and game times, we had a successful day of work. TOTAL HOURS: 7.5

May 18th and 19th

Because the 5k was this weekend we decided we needed to use these days to set up and prepare. We started on Saturday with making copies for the numbers you wear in the race and also counting shirts. We did this for about an hour. On Sunday, we woke up early and got there early to set up the course. We went through the course and marked out the track. After that, we helped out with registration and then out ourselves set up to race. After running, we stayed after and helped with cleanup. It was a fun event to run in but also a great event to help setup and plan. TOTAL HOURS: 50.5

Today for senior project we went along with Fiona's US history class to the courthouse in Concord. Here we sat in on some trials, which includes an immigrant that served in the US military and is looking for US citizenship and one lady who was convicted of helping distribute fetanyl. Sitting in on these trials was really interesting for me because I never knew how it worked. After the trials, we talked with a lawyer and he answered some of our questions. We learned that the lady was part of some bigger bust which has been being processed for over a year. This really helped us get a different point of view as we are helping out in the jail as well. This showed us the stage before these people get incarcerated. TOTAL HOURS: 12
