What Peerleaders did 2016-2017
What started as a club jumping group of friends. Me,Anthony,Sejiun,Israel, And Andres ended up joining this club known as peerleaders. None of us knew what it was, thats what caught our attention.
We were curious about this club and it is certainaly one of the best mistakes we took together as a group. Peerleaders was an afterschool program but no one knew about it becuase there was no representation of the group.
Me and my group of friends became the icons of this group and brought it back to life. Now that most of them are leaving, im staying behind to carry the torch and hopefully to pass on this marvelous tradition. We call Peerleadership
Im going to post my favorite moments with my peer leaders and hopefully encourage more to join the family!
This was our most recent event that we did with our Harrison elks on May,20th. This was for project gradution so it was a good cause
Our group is very fortunate to have done this event because we were selected by the elks to particapte and they cover all the expense. This shows that if you do good things for your community, it follow up and give you an opportunity or reward becuase not only are you feeling like you accomplished
but your community feels happy because they see our young leaders care for this place and want to change for better. Furthermore, It was an unforgetable moment to hang out and have fun with my following peers;Israel,Seijun,Anthony,Melvin,David,Matthew. A big thanks to Mrs.McNichol, Larry Bennett,and Larry Kelly
and all other elks members for giving us the chance to play bowling!
One way to tackle world hunger is to first tackle it in your community. And what way to give back during the season of giving back which is christmas time. We stayed afterschool
with a group of peers and all contrubited to this cause. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich can make any stomach full and a frown turn upside down. We all felt like we were part of something bigger because we are helping those in need of food and it really starts to open your eyes and show are percouis each life is and you can change one
by doing the right things. None the less, it was good feeling to have when it was the time of christmas becuase we had an inner santa clause and each of us made it come to life when we were making the sandwichs.
Reading to little kids so that can expand thier imagination is probably the best feeling in the world. maybe becuase they were reading Star wars! while drinking thier wookie water so they can enter the world of star wars.
What surprised me and my friends were the cosplay the adults put on. They had an actual Darth Vader and real life size strom troopers that held chewbacca hostage! But beside the world of star wars, they were introduced and sent to the world of Dr.seuss, were Anthony was dressed up as the cat in the hat. while the stroom troopers read One Fish Two Fish Red fish Blue fish.
The kids couldnt stop looking at the star war characters becuase they look so real and it brought me a smile to my face when they were really active and attentive throughout the whole reading. Thanks to Mrs.Dumphe and Mrs.McTeigue for letting us be a part of this experience.
