Weekly Reflection 3

As we are winding down on senior project, our group is realizing the skills and communication skills you need to have in order to operate and we have been doing a great job at it. This week was probably our most packed week and we worked hard. On Monday, we went to make an assembly announcement for our 3v3 basketball tournament and where the money will be going but we weren’t able to because of awards. We then made the rules for the tournament and went to lunch to get more signups. We also got snacks for people to purchase at the tournament. On Tuesday, we got supplies to paint and went to the Merrimack County Jail. This was one of our more busy days at the jail because we had to paint the lines of the handball and basketball court and needed to be precise with the measurements and paint.  We got more signups and also wrote the rules out on a poster board. To end the day, we went to get waters and Gatorades to also sell at the tournament. On Wednesday, we met with Kelly and talked game plan for the 5k and the setup of it. We then made the bracket for the tournament. Thursday was the day of the tournament, and it all worked out great. I started the day off with Renny helping the athletic trainers with a workout they are working on to send out to the Proctor community. We then finalized the rules and teams and after sports it was game time. It felt really good because we did raise a good amount of money for the taxi fund but we also ran a good tournament. Everyone said they loved it and it was organized and well thought out. I have never done an event, so it felt good for my first one to work out well. On Friday, our group went with Kelly to measure out the 5k track and where to put the markers. We also helped out with the shirts and organized them. This week we went Saturday and Sunday which was different for us. Saturday we put the stickers on the numbers for the 5k and on Sunday we woke up before the 5k to setup and after for cleanup. This week was very successful and we are sad that senior project is coming to a close.

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
