For this week’s campus safari, I did a community service
trip with the baseball team. The team went to the Helene Grant Headstart School
in New Haven. A teammate on our team has a sister who is a teacher at the
school, and was in need of volunteers for the school’s fair that took place
this past Friday on the 19th.
Everyone on the team took part in the days festivities and helped out
with various activities such as preparing food, hay rides, athletics, and arts
& crafts.
I
ended up being put on an activity where I worked with the kids on making laminated
bookmarks. The kids would basically take leaves and place them under a sheet of
paper. They would then take crayons and push down on the paper to get the
imprint of the leaf on the paper. My job was to basically hold down the paper
for the kids so it wouldn’t move.
Overall
the day went pretty well and we got a lot accomplish on behalf of the
school. The kids were fun to be
around and everyone on the team was in good spirits for the day. It was nice to
get away from the baseball for a little bit and doing something different.
