WEEKLY REFLECTION

 WEEKLY REFLECTION 

Once again this week we learned about organizing big events. We continued to work towards the boat and we also worked towards the spring fling. Something new I learned this week was how to rent things for the spring fling. We worked on a website to rent inflatables for this weekend. This was both fun and challenging. Something challenging that we faced was some of the inflatables were sold out, so when we were ready to rent something and they found out that it was sold out it was frustrating and sometimes took us a long time to find an in-stock one. Another new thing that I learned was sometimes we will run into issues with events we set up. Jazlyn and I found that the game splash had some issues and we had to pause the game and restart it. With this being said it was hard to get in contact with everyone that was involved in the game. We just started the game with the people that answered our email. This week we continued to work on the boat slide show. We also started working on the dance playlist where we asked students to fill out a google form where they would add songs that they liked. First, the students didn't really reply because we could tell who was answering the google form. Once we made it anonymous lots of people replied and there were lots of new songs sent in. Something that surprised me was the number of people that showed up to the color wars. This was really exciting and fun to see the whole thing together. This week I have benefited from the mistakes that we made in splash and the google forms. I learned that sometimes you will run into these problems and you need to just try your best to fix them. This week's tasks have helped me achieve my goal because I have learned more and more about setting up events. This week we have worked with both smaller groups and big groups. We worked with activities for just the senior class and we worked on events with the whole school.

WEEKLY REFLECTION: MAY 16

  REFLECTION: This week started with getting the overall idea of what student activities do and how much work they put into every event. Some new things I learned this week were the process of setting up a big event for a large number of people. We started the game splash which is a school-wide water gun game where each person has a target to get out of. Planning this event felt easy at first but it became very clear how much work goes into it. Another thing I learned was the process of getting a food truck and how to properly reach out to other big companies, lastly I also learned how to fold napkins in the pyramid style.  This week we also worked on the slide show for the senior boat event. I did like what I was doing and all of the different tasks kept me very busy and I never had nothing to do, something that I learned was how much work goes into the events run at Proctor and how stressful it can be to have events that everyone will like. I was really surprised by the number of peo

DAY TWO: STUDENT ACTIVITIES

  DAY TWO: Tuesday, May 8 2021 Today the day started at nine where we worked on the final details of weekend activities for this upcoming weekend. Learning this process has shown how difficult it can be to plan for a large group of people, it is important to have activities that involve everyone and hopefully have people out of their room engaging in fun activities. While Jazlyn and I were planning these final details we also moved onto working on the slide show pictures. I sent out an email talking about "splash" which is a game where students that sign up get a water gun and they have a target that they have to splash before they get splashed by another opponent. During our short lunch break, Jazlyn and I had our splash guns hoping to get people excited. The development office was the next destination.  We carried around four plastic containers that will soon be filled with napkins for senior dinner. We brought these to the dining hall where we started folding the napkins.
