The American Red Cross And Other Organizations At Purnell Swett High School

Volunteers at the Donation Station sorted clothing and helped unload donated items from donor cars and trucks. At the GRACEful Buys resale store, volunteers re-stocked merchandise, price tagged new items in addition to sorting clothing.

During the break the volunteers asked us several questions. From what I gathered all of the volunteers also need the assistance of the pantry. Many asked us how they could help us, assuming we had fallen on hard times. I assured them they we were just there to help them and donate our time. Volunteers receive each goods in their boxes in return for their help.

Today we planned on delivering the tie blankets to the kids in the hospital. We were planning on delivering them on Friday but my friend and I were busy and we were busy over the weekend too. So we had to find a time that worked for both of us which was this Tuesday. While in the car we were both really excited to give the sick kids the blankets. We had to fill out forms telling them what we were delivering and why and that made feel good just saying that I’m doing it because I want to. When we arrived we just went up to the welcome desk and the people there seemed very grateful for our donations. I am kind of sad that we weren’t able to give the little blankets to the kids directly but understand why they don’t want you giving the children

In addition to her excellent knowledge and clinical skills, Ms. Antimisiaris exhibits kindness and generosity to all those with whom she interacts. She has voluntarily served as a tutor to fellow students needing assistance with classroom and lab content over her academic years. She is kind to all of her fellow classmates and faculty, greeting and interacting with all of her peers and teachers warmly. Additionally, she organizes and leads the physical therapy department’s winter clothing drive, The Movement. Each year Ms. Antimisiaris organizes the event, going to each physical therapy class to raise clothing donations and recruit volunteers for the day of the event. Once donations are obtained, she organizes, folds, and packs the donations up, with volunteers, for distribution at a local shelter in Bridgeport, CT. I have been able to work closely with Ms. Antimisiaris on the day of this clothing drive, bringing my family and friends along to help with the set-up of the clothing drive and the distribution of clothes to all of the people that

On October 24th 2015 Arizona State Universities PRM 486 Special Events Management class hosted a day of service event at the Maricopa County Human Services Campus. The PRM class spent the first few weeks of class up till the 24th planning this event. The Day of Service students were split into two groups that had about fifteen students each in them. Those two groups were then split into 5 different sub-committees that consisted of a marketing team, a volunteer team, a sponsorship/hospitality team, a budget team, and a logistics team. Each team has specific duties that would contribute to the completion of this event each week. The marketing team duties consisted of getting t-shirts printed for the PRM students as well as all of the volunteers that were going to attend, and to help spread the word around about the event and what it entailed. The volunteer teams duties consisted of handling everything that had to with the volunteers the day of the event most of these students on this team were in a different group sharing what they could up until the day of the event when they actually had to help the large amount of volunteers. The team I was on was the sponsorship/hospitality team. Our duties consisted of getting various amounts of supplies for the day of service. These supplies were all kinds of things that would make the day of service run smoothly such as getting the breakfast for everyone volunteering, getting all of the gloves people were wearing during the

Discussion: Mr. Payne said the technology millage allows us to leverage purchases such as these by having the infrastructure in place to support additional mobile devices. On any given day, we average 6,000-8,000 devices on our network; so without the proper infrastructure, we might have to turn down additional purchases that are funded via other sources. Mrs. Everly thanked Mr. Payne and his team in technology. There is an outstanding partnership between the curriculum and the technology departments.

We went to the store and bought toiletries, bread, peanut butter and jelly, water, juice boxes, and many other things to distribute to the homeless around town. These items were essentials that were desperately needed by these people, and the money we raised in order to get these items went a long way. We were very nervous about just walking up to people and passing these things out, the idea of a stranger coming up to you and handing you items is a scary thought in itself, but being on the other end is even scarier because you don’t know how others will react.

Sheri L. Dew states that “True leaders understand that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up.” Leadership, service, and character is and always will be very important to me which is why I believe I qualify and would be a beneficial member to the Valley Heights High School National Honors Society.

I would like to become an active member of Carrboro High School National Honor Society, because I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve and improve the community with other like-minded students. I believe it is important to balance academics, athletics, and community service. For example, this year I am taking 5 AP classes, running cross-country and track, and have spent almost 150 hours volunteering in the community. The first time I volunteered was when I raised a diabetic alert dog with my family. Even though I was sad to see the dog I had raised go, it was a rewarding experience because I knew that the dog would help someone have a better life. Anytime I can find an opportunity to both improve myself and the community, I won’t hesitate to seize it. I found the opportunity to do just that at both Shodor and CHCCS Project Graduation.

Throughout my high school years, I gave myself many opportunities and challenges to demonstrate my worth as a leader. Of all these positions, the one I take pride in the most would be taking the lead role of directing a non-profit ACT organization. Together with my classmate, we had founded the organization to which I took charge of after he left to attend college. During my role as president of the ACT organization, my responsibilities included tutoring, finding teachers, organizing sign ups, as well as procuring space to hold classes.

My community has always been an important part of my life. I have actively served in my community through 4-H, and National Honor Society (NHS). I joined 4-H when I was 6 years old and since then I have served in many different ways. My 4-H club has local flower planters in town, and every week we take turns watering them. I have helped clean the road ditches in the surrounding areas to help out the environment. I have also delivered May Day baskets, Valentines, and gone Christmas caroling for the elders that live in the manner in my community. As one of the older members of my 4-H club, I think it is important to show the younger children that you should respect and help the elderly of your community. Through NHS, I have gone trick or treating

The gift that my group performed for the community of Juneau, Alaska is snow removal. The group consisted of my two most trustworthy peers Marcos Yadao and Mitchell Laudert. We all understood that living in a small tight knit town such as Juneau; the smallest of tasks can have the biggest impacts. That is when the light bulb in our intellectual brains and the idea of snow removal came to mind. It was an appropriate job for the winter season. With heavy snow flurries in the forecast, this would be an achievable accomplishment. With the service in mind our next step was to pick a location. We did not want to select the wealthy neighborhoods because the residents there would probably be financially able to pay for such services. The location that we settled on was not a poverty stricken area, but the homes consisted of elderly residence. To avoid complications with the occupants of the home and explain our reasoning for the free service we wanted to only do homes were the residence weren’t present. That did not hold up to a standard when we actually got around to carry out the service. The whole point of going out and helping people of Juneau with their snow blanketed driveways, walkways, and porches too was to gain self respect and also to prove to the world that good can come from anything and anywhere too.

Waves of people arrived with arms full of canned foods; I was simply amazed at the altruism and benevolence those people possessed. The groups of people formed a semicircle and the same coordinator who I was first introduced to earlier began speaking about the event. She proclaimed that the purpose of the event hosted today was to not only provide assistance to those in need today but for many years to come. She continued by giving her countless thanks to the groups who gave a helping hand and donated their time to the Jubilee Center, as well as the event. As I looked across the crowd of people, I noticed that there were some who were very young, some still in elementary school and others who appeared wise and sagacious. Despite the difference in age, there was one thing that grouped all the people there in common: they all shared a passion to support those in

It has always been close to my heart to help others who are in need; therefore, I chose to volunteer my time toward helping to make Project Backpack a success. Some time ago I chose to join the Project Backpack team in order to help under privileged school kids. Project Backpack is a project where members go out and buy items that children need in order to make it through school. Some items that were purchased to fill backpacks were school supplies, such as notebooks, pencils and pens, crayons, and other school essentials. We also would get personal items for the children, such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, shampoo, body wash, and deodorant. Then we might even get a few toys, such as cards, football, or another small toy. We chose to do that because we realized that we were giving these backpacks to children who are under privileged and they may not have many toys, and it is just a way to make the backpack more comforting to the children.
