Week 5

Genius Hour Project: Basketball for a Cause 

  • This week has been a very busy week for our project! This past Thursday we finally had our meeting with Dr. West (the dean of the lower school) about our basketball clinic! To put a long story short, he said that he thought our camp was a great idea for the community. While this is great news, we also got some advice that is going to set us back about a week on the clinic dates. This news was that on the 19th of February(which was going to be our first clinic) is a long weekend and many families are going to be out of town. Moving the camp back to the 5th and 12th of March is going to give us even more time to prepare and also not be conflicting with the school schedule.

  • Next Monday at one o'clock we also intend to have a meeting with Mr. Palmerton (the athletic director). The reason for this meeting is to get his approval for our camp since he knows all of the activities that will be going on in all of the gyms on campus. Once we have this meeting we will finally be able to go over to the lower school and start spreading the word about our exciting clinics!

  • We are so excited to be so close to the start of our clinics! See you all next week.  american, basket, basketball

      (Jack Arsta) I love how far you guys have come since the last time I read your guys blog! I have one question, are there any kids signed up for the clinics yet or is the sign up when you guys get approval from Mr. Palmerton?
