The Civil engagement team had a Mini retreat on the 11th of august to plan for the 2021-2022 school year. We talked about possible events that we can do with students at Gilmour, and meeting times for the team. We also played a fun game about ourselves, and the people around us. We each took beads that represents the race of the people that is around us, and In the end we talked about what colors we have in our own bowl and what those colors might mean. It was a good way for us to acknowledge who is around us, and what kind of community we're in!

I helped out as a volunteer during Meet the parent night last Thursday. We were there from 6-9 and our job was to give parents directions to classrooms and help out in general. I was able to get to talk to some of my classmate's parents and have a fun time! One parent yelled, "ask them for double service hour" every time he passed me, which I thought was hilarious. *wink *wink.
