HI-LINE LANES GET TOGETHER!

So I got a good survey of how many students would be interested in attending a bowling party. Here are some details I have gathered on Friday.

TOTAL INTERESTS: 157
SENIORS: 33
JUNIORS:37
SOPHOMORES: 38
FRESHMEN:49

I mean, this is a good number of interest! :) so here are some of the details I know so far about this get together.

• Hi-line Lanes
• 2 1/2 hours of bowling
• I'm thinking about $8 or $9 dollars for the tickets; Wana keep the prices down low!
• If 90 tickets are sold, then we get a "ROCK & BOWL", which is when they'll turn the lights off for the 2 hours and turn on club lights and music. Now that's whats up!

My next step is to go talk to Bonnie about my plan and talk about the prices. I'm keeping the ball rolling and I don't plan to stop until this mission is accomplished!

I just recently volunteered to help Driskell with remodeling the student parking lot and painting the basketball court. I decided to help out with this project becuse I feel like this would have a good impact on our school. There is always talk about how the upperclassmen think that the parking lot is crap with all the pot holes, and they think that the money that they paid for their student pass is a waste and they feel cheated. As a student, I feel that if the school isn't stepping forward to deal with the complaints, then the students should step up and make the changes we want and need. I also volunteered to help Molly make and sell candy grams. I agreed to help her out because I originally had a idea like this; I wanted to make and sell candy roses, and maybe I could help incorporate ideas with Molly. You know what they say, two heads are better than one. I'm also very creative and I bet I'll be a huge help to Molly. :)

Sometimes you lead, and sometimes you follow

So some of the projects that I hope to lead this year include : A holiday party/get together, food drive, campus clean up and I'm thinking about having a dance session before tolo so that students have the latest swag on the dance flo!

My project that I am recently working on is the all school bowling get-together at Hi-Line Lanes and my project outline is going swell! The wonderful people who are assisting me with this project is Molly and Karan G. I'm still looking for anther person to help me out; particularly a sophomore. So if you're a sophomore in leadership, come help me out, yeah?!

So far, I have signed up to help two people with their projects : Molly, and Driskell J. Molly is planning to have this candy gram sell around thanksgiving week and I'm super stoked to be helping her with it! Driskell is planning to remodel the basketball court and the student parking lot; which is a brilliant idea!

REMINDER: I'm super open with any ideas and would love to help anyone if they need it. I'd say yes for sure if it's something during the school hours. I'll say maybe if it's not. I have a tight schedule from day to day and usually don't stay after school. But, if you need help, come see me and I'll see what I can do!

Driving forces & Barriers

Driving forces:

• potentially bring the class of 2012 closer
• bonding outside of school with class mates
• At the end of 1st quarter, time to relax
• you can see a different side of acquiescence you may have
• Create memories
• Show of skills to peers
• Chill, enjoy a lay back activity
• original while refreshing
• everyone in the junior class at AHS is invited. no one is left out

Barriers:

• Low number of participants
• participation based on price of the tickets
• plans and or dates won't fit with majority of students
• People may arrive late and if the bowling alley has limited hours the tickets pay for, students won't take advantage of playing time.
• choosing a time that suits well with majority
• traveling distances
• people may like the idea, though when it comes down to buying tickets, they don't.
• word may not spread around quickly/unpopular
• students aren't interested
• hi line lanes isn't that nice of a hang out joint

Barriers I CAN control!

participation based on price of the tickets

One of the more important goals in this particular project is having a price range that will be affordable for everyone. For example, $10 dollars might not cost that much for "Bob", but to "Tom", $10 dollars may be over his spending limit. I would like to minimize the cost for the tickets as low as I can so that participation won't be based on the price of the tickets.

word may not spread around quickly/unpopular

A effective way to take care of this is to make posters and chose group members who don't necessarily hang out in the same group. If I ask specific group members to join this leadership project, who hang out in different crowds, it is more likely that the word will spread and more students will be interested. I also hope to make poster as well as making a event on facebook.

choosing a time that suits well with majority

Along with surveying for who is interested in this event, I would like to ask for opinions on what times would work best and what times wont. If i can narrow it down to three different times, I would like to have students choose and based on what students chose, then I would have that time arranged.

"hey, whatcha do in leadership class today?!"

Hey! I asked my fellow peers for their opinions on my event idea!

I spoke to a few juniors in leadership today, and asked for their opinons regarding when I should place the date, which bowling alley I should host the party at, who (which class) to invite, how to spread the word and how I should go about selling tickets.

After talking on and off for thirty minutes, I've came up with basic information for this bowling night. THIS MAY CHANGE.

• Event : Bowling for class 2012
• where : Hi-line lanes in Burien
• when : 11/28/10
• time : 5-7 (at least three hours or so)
  

After thinking about all these factors that play an important part on the number of participation of a bowling/ bonding night for the juniors, I had to decide where I should start my planning. I thought it would be most effective to go to each advisory class, tell them my idea and see who's willing to bowl the night away. After and if I get enough people to participate I will continue to make progress by : (Look under to do list)

My to do list :

• count participation
• research or call in Hi-Line lanes to ask for deals/prices
• tell class of 2012 the game plan, follow by counting participation
• settle for date & time. adjust to the crowds schedule IF DESPERATELY NEEDED.

Getting my thoughts down

Bowl the night away, baaaaaaby!

Start date : 10/18/10 - End date : 11/20/10

Event day (ideally) - 11/28/10

Milestones :

10/18/10 - Have information about prices at Hi line lanes bowling alley in Burien

10/25/10 - survey the Junior class & pick time ranges

11/1/10 - spread word

11/6/10 - make plans final.

Mentor : I don't have a mentor yet! I'm still in search of someone.

Group members : I also don't have any group members yet. Ideally, I'd like juniors to help me out with this because this event is for the junior class. If you would like to help out, please let me know! :)

My Vision : I've noticed that students in the junior class is more distance with each other than any other class. I want to bring the junior class together for this night to increase bonds and friendships.
