Today was very productive for me and for the OH community. We started the day with an early 8:15 Scarecr-OH Lane meeting. We talked about what we would say when we went around the the businesses to ask for donations to fund our service learning trip to Costa Rica. We got our flyers and posters together to be ready to head out and walk around Rosemary and visit all the businesses. We then had community time and did a whip. The whip today was, "If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?" I chose a horse because they are fast and are free. After that we had FLVS time. I worked on my Spanish and got a lot done in that subject. At 10:00 it was time to head out of the school and visit the businesses. I was in a group with McKenzie, Alyssa, and Olivia. We were assigned to go Wild Olives, Amavida, Bombora, The Cottage Rentals Agency, and Solace Day Spa. One group took the Scarecr-OH that the students designed as a prototype around to the other buisnesses in Rosemary. Then two of the other groups went to Seacrest and Seaside to ask for donations for our service learning trip. It was all so exciting to open up to the community about our school. We are also excited to make the Scarecr-Ohs for all the businesses to put on Scarecr-Oh Lane. Our fundraiser is going to be Saturday October 30, and will be in conjunction with the usual Rosemary Halloween Party. For the OH ScarecrOH fundraiser there will be prizes for the winning Scarecr-OH. Our total amount of money raised today was $870! WOW!!!
After everyone got back from the fundraising excursion, we had Lunch. Today was tennis, but I can't go with my hurt knee. I found out that I have officially torn my ACL and I am getting surgery in four weeks. I have to do physical therapy until then and then I have to do physical therapy after my surgery. The recovery for my surgery is about four and a half months. To fix my ACL the doctor will take the Achilles Tendon from a cadaver and atatch it to what is left of my ACL. What is cool is that the incision from the surgery is only one centimeter and the rest is scoped. During tennis I worked on Spanish, Geometry, and H.O.P.E. After everyone got back we discussed lots of things but we mainly talked about our successes with the Scarecr-OHs After that I finished my Geometry and then started writing my blog. I was listening to everyone debate about the kickball teams. One team is actually ordering jerseys! I can't wait until I can play kickball again!! Tomorrow is Friday and then it is the weekend! Make sure to come to the OH bake sale which is the same day as Scarecr-OH Lane.
