Karan Grewal's Football Tournament
What did you do to help?
I helped Karan make the main football informational poster to put up above the table during ticket sales at lunchtime. I also helped him make decisions such as whether or not players will wear cleats and how many people will be on a team.
Who did you help?
I helped Karan Grewal. He is hosting a football tournament for his intramurals club that will be some sort of play-offs tournament with teams of 5 or 6.
What did you learn?
I learned that football posters are relatively easy to make! I also learned more about the intramurals club and what is going on with their club at the moment. I hadn't talked to Karan or Sean about the club since last year, so it was nice to learn about what they were currently doing.
What would you do differently next time?
If there is a next time, I would definitely make more football posters because they came out beautifully! I might also suggest trying another sport besides football that would appeal to a different group of people.
Identify Pros & Cons
Pros:
The football poster does a good job of communicating information to interested players.
Cons:
Their is no major con to this project or me helping Karan out. Everything went smoothly and the poster is very informational.

2nd Help Project Reflection
Drew Hidalgo's Relatively Motivational/ Make You Smile posters in the hallways
What did you do to help?
I helped make posters and come up with motivational slogans afterschool with Drew Hidalgo and some other students on Thursday, January 6, 2011.
Who did you help?
I helped Drew Hidalgo with his lead project of making motivational posters or enjoyable posters to put up around the school to build school spirit or create a positive environment.
What did you learn?
I learned that the posters were relatively easy to make and did a lot to create a positive environment. Some of the posters highlighted some of the quirks of our school, such as how the school is always frigidly cold. However, by making posters that highlighted these quirks and poked fun at them, we were able to turn it from something students complained about to something students could joke about and bond over.
What would you do differently next time?
Next time, I might allocate more time. We ran out of time to put the posters up at the end of the day. Overall, it was a very successful project and there was very little that I would change. The posters were a good size and weren't overly obnoxious. They had witty slogans that would bring joy to a student's school day.
Identify Pros & Cons
Pros:
The posters are absolutely gorgeous!
Several people have given compliments about it.
They create a happy positive environment for learning.
Cons:
Some students/teachers might not really appreciate them.

1st Help Project Reflection
Sarah Canul's Thanksgiving Food Drive
What did you do to help?
I helped run the food drive on one of the mornings when Sarah wasn't able to make it. I also helped her count up the food cans at the end of the day sometimes.
Who did you help?
I helped Sarah Canul with her Thanksgiving Food Drive for the two weeks it was held before Thanksgiving break. She collected canned foods for the Des Moines food bank.
What did you learn?
I thought her idea was very innovative because instead of just asking people to donate, she exchanged coffee and tea for each item donated. For the future, ASB could definitely use this type of fundraiser idea to make fundraisers more successful.
What would you do differently next time?
There were problems with getting the hot water started and we were unable to serve coffee that day. If this were to happen in the future, I would try to have better communication with Sarah to get a better idea of exactly what I needed to do.
Identify Pros & Cons
Pros:
Sarah did a good job and it was very successful!
Everyone seemed to really like the tea and coffee stand.
There was good healthy competition.
Cons:
Some people didn't know what day the food drive ended.
It wasn't advertised the first few days.
