Reflections

All of the students have been asked to reflect on this project and write about what they have learned. Here are some of their inspirational words.

Fun at The MicMac Market

Screen on the Green

On Saturday, May 10th, Nathan and his family held a movie night in their backyard for The MicMac Give Back. It was a huge success!!! We raised over $340. The movie we showed was Princess Bride and the kids loved it. We also sold concessions such as popcorn, lemonade, water, and many more treats. This movie night and all the other events we are doing for The MicMac Give Back have been giving us an opportunity to help make a difference in another person's life. And the fact that we have been having fun is even more amazing. We appreciate all the support you have given us to help make a difference in the world.

Thank you.

CBS News Coverage

The MicMac Market was a huge success raising $1,545! The kids worked hard all day selling items and grabbing the attention of drivers passing by the market. Thank you to all of the kids and parents who came out and supported the fund-raiser. The video clip below was aired on Saturday night after the market. Before viewing pause the music at the bottom of the screen to hear the audio.

Lemonade Stand

On April 24, 2008 some boys in the MicMac Give Back came together and had a lemonade stand. Thanks to your help we raised $216. Not to brag or anything but I think that’s pretty good for a lemonade stand. We didn’t just sell lemonade though. We sold ice cream, gummies, and popsicles. We had a blast doing it. Once again, thank you for all your donations and don’t forget to spread the word.

A Sneak Preview

Below are some of the bird houses and ceramic art pieces the students have been working on to sell at The MicMac Market Saturday, May 10th from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm.

A Successful Bake Sale

The students, along with their families, worked hard preparing baked goods for the bake sale on Friday, and all of their efforts paid off! The MicMac bake sale raised just over $700...wow! Thank you so much for all of the wonderful support!!! A special thank you to all of the moms who helped set up the bake sale and managed it throughout the lunch hours with the students. We really appreciate your help.

On Friday, the students took turns working the bake sale and painting birdhouses for the MicMac Market. Some students presented mini-lessons to other classes that they prepared themselves, while others were interviewed by the media about this service learning project. Friday was a busy day for the MicMacs!

A special thank you to Max D's mom who has been teaching the students how to sew. Each student will be making an adorable tissue holder for The MicMac Market. For some of them sewing is a new skill and they are having so much fun!
