Yesterday was an eventful day in communities had celebration since they were unable to do it on Friday. But the teachers had a little surprise for some of the students. In advisor the students filled out a small piece of paper, which they had to write their full name, birthday, and a number they were given to look up based on their birthday. During the celebration, the teachers told the students who had the number 1-100 to go out of the room, and back to the communities rooms, none of the students knew what was happening, untill they all got to the room and were told they were getting drafted and could be part of the celebration. Then the students went to their project advisor for the first workshop. In there they talked about writing thank you cards to their veterans.

Tuesday February 19th

Today was a great day in communities! Many students had their interviews with their veteran, students filmed in quiet places throughout the school to get the most out of their interview with their veteran. It's very exciting seeing students conduct their interview with their veteran, seeing all the work the put into it and then finally making their final product. Other students who haven't had their interview yet were in workshops. This week has been a little different as to where students pick their workshops and go to the ones that best suit them. It was a great Tuesday, make sure to check in throughout the week to see how interviews and workshops are going!
