This is my latest project. My elementary school wanted a map on their black top and I had three girls in mind to help. They needed to do a project for Personal Progress and so we combined our efforts along with 25 volunteers to create this amazing map.
After much planning, we began by cleaning the pavement then created a grid to help our amazing artists draw the map. We are thankful that we had two brilliant math guys to help us!
It was 108 degrees on the day we did this. The easy ups provided much needed shade, but did not help with the heat. It was really unbearable. I was amazed at how hard the girls and our volunteers worked. We started the map at 7 a.m. and finished at 4:30p.m. It was a long day, but really fun to do with the girls. When we were done I went home and took a cold bath.
This made it all worth it! I went early on Monday to watch the kids as they came to school. They were so excited to see the map. I am so proud of Camile, Shanna and Elizabeth for doing this as a service project. They could of chose something easier, but in doing this they were able to make a difference for many years to come.
