What We Accomplished This Week
Macey and I (Julia) had a very successful week. First, all of our 8x10 glossy prints came in. When we got together to choose which of our photos we wanted to be in the art gallery, we narrowed it down to 68 photos. Also, Mr. Stabler informed us that we have been approved to use the South Campus Conference Center (SCC) for our art gallery. However, the gallery will be strictly limited to the FRA community. We have decided the art gallery will be held from 5:30pm to 7:00pm on Wednesday March 15th in the SCC! Earlier in the week, Macey and I (Julia) met with Mrs. Huff to get her opinion on how we should promote the gallery. Macey and I have already completed the flyer, but are not sure on what we will do next. We also met with Mrs. Thornton to discuss the layout of the gallery along with what food and refreshments we should have present. She helped us so much with these decisions. From her own experience, she suggested we serve cookies, cheese and crackers, and grapes for the snacks, along with water for the drinks.
What We Are Working On Now
Right now, Macey and I (Julia) are in the process of setting up an online version of our art gallery. Since our gallery is scheduled to be during the week of Interim, there will be a great number of students and teachers who will be out of town. We hope the option of purchasing photographs through a website will allow those who are out of town to contribute to our goal of $500. Macey and I (Julia) are also in the process of putting together a brochure containing more information about East Nashville Hope Exchange, so people know where their money will be going and for what purpose.
What We Plan To Do Next
Next week, Macey and I (Julia) will print a number of flyers and put them up around campus. We also need to get in contact with the maintenance crew since we do not have the ability to move tables and big black boards into the SCC. We have also finished our flyers and hope to get them around campus really soon. Now, we will need as many volunteers as we can get to help us setup and cleanup the gallery, as well as handing out brochures while greeting people at the door. Also, we would love to have live music playing to make the scene more enjoyable for everyone. All of these students will receive service hours. If you are interested in any of this, please let Macey or I (Julia) know by the end of next week so we can discuss when everyone needs to be at school to help. For those who just wish to attend, feel free to come and go as you please. We hope to see all of you there!
