Project Name: Spring Egg Hunt
Project Milestone Dates: April 22, 2011
What is the objective of this project?
This project is for a spring egg hunt. We hid eggs and then let the whole school search for them. There were a lot of them and there was candy hidden insided of them. It was meant for a celebration of spring and have a fun activity for the students.
What is your role going to be in the project?
I was put to the task of making posters and advertising for the event. I made a lot of posters that were hung up all over the school. They told all of the information about the event and encouraged people to participate in the egg hunt.
How are you and your group going to hold eachother accountable for work getting done throughout the project?
We had to make sure that everyone did their part or else the egg hunt would not go right. I had to make my posters so that people would know about the egg hunt and the people stuffing the eggs had to fill the eggs in time. Also, the hiders had to hide the eggs before the egg hunt started, or the egg hunt would not be a big success.
What do you see as being the largest obstacle in your way to success? What do you see as being an obstacle for your group?
I made posters and advertised, so it's possible that people didn't see the postsers or did not hear about the egg hunt. I think that an obstacle for the project itself was that people didn't join the egg hunt, Fortunatly, though, it turned out that there were a lot of people that joined the hunt.
What is the plan for overcomming these obstacles?
I thing we just tried the best we could and we did our best to make the best spring egg hunt that we possibly could. Luckily, the egg hunt was a great success and it all worked out.
The picture below is of Gavin and his helpers stuffing eggs with candy. Although I made signs for his project this is a piece of the process of the project.
Hey!!! Okay, so here is a list of people I am helping with so far:
I helped Gavin on his spring egg hunt project with making signs and advertising.
I am helping Ellen on her pet food drive. I am making signs for hers as well, and I may come in the cafeteria on some morings to help her collect the food.
I still have one more project that I need to help with, but I am not quite sure which one yet. I may help a class clean up tomorrow, but I am not sure if that will work out yet. I guess I will just have to see as time goes on.

Project Milestone Dates: May 2-May 13
What is the objective of this project?
The objective for this project is to get students at Aviaton to donate pet food for the Seattle Animal Shelter. The dogs and cats there are in need of food and the shelter is accepting donations for the animals. Ellen, the leader of the project voulnteers at the animal shelter and is compelled to help the dogs and cats in in need. Along with being a pet food drive, this project is going to be a competition between the grades. Each person that donates gets spirit points that goes to the grade that they are in.
How does your project align with our mission and goals as a class?
In leadership we are encouraged to think about other people than ourselves and to help the needy. These pets at the Seattle Animal Shelter are in need of food and it is possible that Aviation can help those pets get the food they need.
What is your role going to be in the project?
I have already made many posters for the pet food drive to advertise and let people know where and when the drive is. I am also going to the cafeteria in the morning on some days and helping Ellen collect the food that people donate.
How are you and your group going to hold each other accountable for work getting done throughout the project?
I am going to help Ellen with whatever that she tells me to do. Since she is the boss and I am helping her, I am just going to do whatever she needs help with. Ellen is very passionate and excited about this project and will get all the work that needs to be done completed for the project.
What do you see as being the largest obstacle for your group?
I think that the largest obstacle is that not very many people will donate and or may not have pet food. They may not have pets, so they do not have any pet food to bring. Other people just may forget to bring food, or they may not know the drive is going on.
What is the plan for overcoming these obstacles?
To avoid the problem of people not donating, I want to make and hang a lot of signs so that the whole school knows about it so that they can donate. Also, I will help spread it through word of mouth so that people will have another way of knowing about the drive, incase they didn't see the posters.
Hey!!! Just yeseterday I completed my first milestone by baking cupcakes for the teachers, which I did on Sunday. I then delivered them to the teacher's lounge first thing on Monday Morning. It was really exciting because everything went really smoothly and I was able to get the cupcakes to the teachers with no problem. Also, I heard from all my teachers that the triple chocolate cupcakes were super delicious!!! It makes me happy to hear that the teachers really appreciated them and I can't wait to make more baked goods for them later in the year. I am going to bake goodies one more time for the teachers before this project is over. I am thinking its going to be around June 2. It this project goes as well the second time as it did the first time, then I will have nothing to worry about.
