Day+7+-+Taking+a+Break


 * [[image:PK_SHBH.jpg width="480" height="621"]] || The Outreach Crew created this poster and will be distributing it during Spring Break. Last week the students also worked on creating smaller versions of the advertising flyers to more inexpensively and quickly distribute around town. They will be a quarter of the size of the first flyer and will be passed out from Wednesday of next week until Friday, the first of the Donation days.

We are also working with KISS 105.3 throughout the remainder of the week to develop a radio advertising that they will air beginning next week before the first Donation Friday, April 8th.

Additionally, we created a Facebook Page to help spread the word about the program, as our students were insistent on putting the event on Facebook, but we did not want to directly expose them to the social site.

As for the website, Abbey and Raihan plan on collaborating with Sarah (News Crew) posting footage of the kids and more information on the actual website.

Below is a preview of what the News Crew has been working on in Sarah's group:

=NEXT WEEK:= OUTREACH CREW:

Plan is to split my kids up into 3 groups:

1. Will be documenting where our flyers have ended up, using the slips that the kids have hopefully remembered to fill out and bring back.

2. Will be working together to write out an "announcement" to be read over the school's morning announcement the rest of the week & next week. They'll be in charge of finding out whether or not one of THEM is actually going to be able to read it over the loudspeaker, or if the typical "announcer" will just read it from their "script".

3. Will work together to create a spread sheet-type doc. to use to take inventory of the donations that come in on Friday (whether or not any students will actually be there WITH us while we collect, or whether we just use it to fill out ourselves, is yet to be known.)

4. Whenever groups are finished, they will begin working at a separate table to create a few posters to hang on the table or whatever we've got to collect during the actual drive.

NEWS CREW: My kids tomorrow are just about all editing the final pieces of the video. I have a couple that have a little more to film and I was hoping to have two of them actually film during donation time Friday. Anyways tomorrow: I am having one girl take still photos of everyone and one girl film everyone working on their own things. Also last thing: not that big of a thing but I was going to have all of the kids waving at the camera to put in the beginning of the video. I told my camera girl just to get your guys to do it when they are working on their regular stuff, so just give ya'll a heads up. :) Were going to be ready to go right on time for the showcase, so we should have the video to present by then. :)

WEBSITE CREW: This week me and Abbey are playing more on the "art crew" job of our kids. They'll be illustrating a couple small pictures about what donating means to them, and we'll throw that stuff on the site. We'll also pull small groups of kids to have them add the links that they found to the site (i.e., arbor house, pk yonge, cancer society).
