Bull crew week 8th to 15th

This week on Tuesday the 15th, and last week on Tuesday the 8th and Thursday the 10th, I and Kyle Healey operated to prep rooms for the admissions meetings for next year’s freshmen class. At points we worked separate rooms and others we functioned dependently with one another. We organized them so as to seat the most possible within safety limits in each of the two rooms, so as to maximize the capacity for the expected crowds. Furthermore on Thursday, we set up for staff meetings in room 204, and did our best to help Mr. Andre and Mr. Heiser organize the locations for best traffic flow.
Additionally, on Monday, I personally remained after school to set up seating for the ERB testing, which doesn’t benefit the student’s grades, but means for potential grants for Sturgis as a whole. Being a charter school that offers free IB for all, the budget gets pretty tight especially while maintaining the integrity in what is becoming a more-populated school on a constant basis. There were more than ten rooms in total that needed prepping, and that’s what happened on Monday afternoon.Both of these events influence the lives of Sturgis students for years to come, based on who we gain student-wise and what we earn grant-wise. These two features will support the school’s image and content, since in order to maintain our existence here on main street and in the American school districts, we are constantly needing to prove ourselves through our academic capabilities, which have direct correlation with our students and their ability to learn and develop, sometimes exclusively with the unique experiences we offer and sometimes with the tech… but mostly our brains.

HOLIDAY STROLL II

I arrived at the school at 11:45 due to transportation issues (the bus was half an hour late and walking time had not been calculated into the endeavor, and after obtaining a key from Mr.Heiser, I was able to retrieve an elf two piece costume from Mrs. Bottsford's classroom. The magic show I did not help set up, but their was considerable need for enticing people inside. In front of the double doors, I stood with my fellow elves Jacquie and Brian inviting families to make cookies and complete treasure hunts inside of the building where other elves (the ones who opted to stay dry on this rainy Saturday) attended to their needs and Mr. Heiser was able to educate them on the goals and benefits of Sturgis. As the doormen (elves) we gave the pedestrians their first impression of what to expect inside, and so in keeping with the merriment, since we were cheerful we would spread that emotion to our capacity. I honestly believe that our efforts contributed not only making that day more pleasant for the drenched parties abroad, but helped to improve the atmosphere of main street, by giving reason for people to associate this fairly urban area with a more positive lot. The event had some issues like the three hours of standing in the rain and the odd troublemakers who clashed with our intended goals, but on the whole it went off without a hitch. Personally I felt it was a positive experience for me, as I while I intended to evoke joy in others, the reciprocation was emotionally uplifting on my part as well. I was in great spirits by the end of the day
