Thursday, October 21st, we had our meeting in the gym due to Parent-Teacher Conferences. Our troop is now 18 strong and while the gym gave us more room to spread out for the projects, it's also much louder than Mr. Otto's room. Our focus for the day was Breast Cancer Awareness. As our first community service project of the year, we were walking at Making Strides on Saturday. We had three projects for this meeting. Making pink pom poms, decorating visors (pink of course) and making and signing our sign. The sign said "Shakin' it for Breast Cancer". In conjunction with the sign, there was a group discussion about what breast cancer is, who has been affected by it and other personal experiences.
Making the pom poms took much longer than our alloted 20 minutes with each group. Fortunately, several parents stayed to help the final tying.
We also took our first group picture with EVERYONE there. With 18 girls, our full group opportunities might be few and far between. I also have a silly group picture that I will upload within the next couple of days.
