Yay! We're back!!! We had a full house this afternoon as fourth and fifth grade students came to find out what this Early Act thing is all about. What was crazy about this meeting was that we had a scheduled fire drill RIGHT BEFORE recess. The kids who came to Early Act today were OUTSIDE and made the decision to come back in to come to the meeting. I know I say it a lot, but helping people is in these kids' blood! Since fourth graders made up the biggest part of our group, we took a good chunk of time to let them know what we do every week. |
Totally unprompted endorsement from a 5th grade Early Act student! Thanks, Jason!!! | Since fourth graders made up the biggest part of our group, we took a good chunk of time to let them know what we do every week. Our main topics were our focus on the School, Community, and World; the Early Act Store, and a quick introduction to Kiva. This year we plan to continue the amazing momentum we have going with Kiva while also increasing our energy spent making a difference in the community of Lowell as well as here at Cherry Creek. We have lots planned (some great ideas from our group last year), so stay tuned!!! |
The students at the meeting had tons of great ideas for new product for our Early Act Store. The store will be open soon on Tuesdays and Thursdays during student lunches. All students in the school are invited to tap into their talents and make something to be sold at the store. All money goes to Kiva where we can loan it to deserving people around the world!
At the end of the meeting, we watched the much-loved "Pedro Video," and sang the Kiva song. Every student at the meeting stopped to get a sign up form on the way out, so we are taking that as a positive sign!!!
