In addition to weekly updates, I want to write each week about something cool/interesting/encouraging that has happened this week. And since the military is all about acronyms, I want to get in on the party so this will officially be CHOW Time. So that is what it will be posted as.
On wednesday morning, some of the students here did see you at the pole. See you at the pole, for those that might now know, is a time when students get together before school and ray for their school and community. It is completely student led and organized. One of the girls who comes to club, Bailey, organized it for here. It was really cool to see her dedication to getting the word out about this event, and to see the excitement of some of the other teens had in preparing for this event. Aretta and I got up and made some hot chocolate and muffins and blueberry bread for the kids who were there. Around 10 kids were there at first, then somewhere around 10 to 15 more joined in. Bailey then played guitar and sang (which she is really good at, we have an extremely talented group of teens). I am not a big get up early type of guy, but it was worth it to see this. Just thought I'd share.
You made muffins????????? Blueberry bread???????
ReplyDeleteI don't know who commented before me, but that's what I was going to say! :) That's very cool to see a student take the initiative like that. What a leader!
ReplyDeleteAretta made the bread and muffins. I supervised. My responsibilities were to make the hot chocolate.
