Relay: An Update

After the last post, I had talked to Meng Meng, the leader of our team, and asked if she wanted me to make a logo for our team, as art is one of my strengths. Therefore, nearly an hour after getting the okay from Meng Meng, I created this:

I'm really excited that my art skills could be put to use in creating a team logo. I am also in charge of creating the shirts for our team, which we will either:

1) Order from an online source

-or, if it's too expensive-

2) Make the shirt ourselves by buying a generic shirt from Kohls or Target and ironing on the details.

Also! (Exciting News), we've set a date for our bottle drive. Thanks to the advice of Mr. D Wilson, we've decided to first hand out flyers on February 20th or 21st, and then have the bottle drive on March 6th.

We're also planning on asking Olga's Kitchen to sponsor our team. Hopefully, (if all works well), one night, some percentage of the night's earnings at Olga's will go towards cancer research.

As the only student at Country Day of our team, I've also planned for a bake sale to raise funds for our team. Hopefully, (if okay'ed by Mrs. Langley) there will be a bake sale next Friday, selling goodies like cookies and (perhaps) Chocolate-covered strawberries (hence our team name). I've enlisted Eric Gruskin (a fellow IB-er) and hope for more support to help fully execute a successful bake sale next Friday.

Through this preparation for Relay for Life, I've gained such skills as planning. Previously, I've always depended on others for leadership. However, (as I've stated before) as the only member attending a different school, I must rely on my own leadership capabilities to successfully plan my goals for Relay for Life.
