20% Project

For my 20% time on Fridays I've decided to do something to give back to the elderly in our community and to benifit our young generation with the knowledge of them. The idea is to not forget the elderly people in our community and remind us that they are important. To do this project we (Morgan Ley and I) are going to go to the Heartland and see if there is any residents that would like to share their story. Once we find someone we will listen to what they have to say, bring it back to school and share it with Mr. Kapptie so we could set up a time that they could come in and talk to possibly 10 (plus or minus) kids at a time about their story or what they have to say.

For the September month I picked out this project and called my CNA instructor Jenny Segura who works in the nursing home. She told me that I should call Kaci Dillworth at the Heartland and she will give me further instuctions and might know of someone who would be willing. I called Kaci and she said she would get back to me and that she knows of someone who might be willing to share their information. I haven't gotten a call back but I'm going to give her a call back and see if tomorrow would be a good day to set up an appointment with some people to hear their stories and see what Mr. Kapptie thinks and possibly set up a time for them to come in and share their stories with us.

For October I hope to have at least one story that I have heard and hopefully they have shared.
