The Game is Over
Blogged By: Zach, Alyssa, Sam and Jarrett
As we near the holidays, bound to be filled with sweets, we had the students, and staff of Nottawasaga Pines S.S. active! On December 9th and 11th, during lunch, students faced the staff in a fun filled game of dodgeball. Staff won 5 games, and students won 6. It was a close game but the students won!
Over the past few months our group has put hours of work and a lot of effort into our events, both the blood drive, and the dodgeball games were a success. Canadian Blood services reached above their goal and we have raised $30+ for AVERT and The Thirst Project, which has secured one person, clean water for life, and is raising HIV/AIDS awareness.
We believe we have helped the UN Health Goal because we helped our local hospitals via the blood drive, and have gotten teenagers, as well as adults to be active, improving general and cardiovascular health.
Our challenge during the project happened during the planning of our global goal event, we hoped to host a dance at the local elementary school, however due to the work to rule we were unable to. As a result, our group member, Zach came up with the idea to host a dodgeball event.
During the blood drive we had 25 students, and 2 teachers donate. During the dodgeball game, we had around 40 students, and 25 teachers playing dodgeball (between the 2 days). The picture above shows group members, Jarrett and Zachary playing dodgeball, they had a fun time and were active!
