Monday was pretty uneventful. I looked for pumpkin patches online, budgeted for the banner project, got my documents in order for midterm evaluations, and sat in misery while my uterus tried to condense itself to the size of a cashew.
Wednesday morning was the last training session at Ben Davis. The seniors had a chance to visualize the day's activities for the AVID Conference hosted at Jameson Camp. They were grouped into the activities they will be leading between trainings (i.e. Asset Awareness, labeling activity, biography chairs, qualities and roles of a leader, etc). The seniors asked some important questions about their activities, and Tim and I got a real grasp for what additional supplies we need to provide for the seniors in order to have the conference run smoothly. Seniors will have 3 more days of class before the conference to practice the activities and plan for leading 60 freshman through a series of 7 activities within 5 hours. A few of the seniors seem to know their stuff, while others in the class seem like they might take a backseat. I'm really excited to see all the hard work pay off. The rest of the morning was spent shopping for things like folders, name tags, snacks for breaktime during the conference, fabric for my banner project, and other random necessities. The most random items came from our shopping experience at Goodwill. Staff at follow-ups will be handing out tickets rewarding youth leaders for showing positive attitudes and excellent leadership skills. They will use their tickets to enter themselves drawings for different prizes. The prizes will consist of Jameson Camp gear and the odd toys n' things we found at Goodwill. We have quite a collection.
