The photos features one of their projects. The sixth graders and their families chose a service project and left this behind for Sioux Trail students to enjoy. I think it is fair to say they chose to have a "global" impact on Sioux Trail with their map of the world. The photos feature our custodian, Mark Glende, in the final step of the installation process.
- The first part of the process was finding and purchasing a very large stencil,
- Then Mark blocked and painted the black rectangle so that the map was visible
- The third step involved laying out the stencil and painting the outline
- The final step is featured in the photos as Mark is working his way across the world
This was the first service project that a sixth grade grade class has done in recent years and with advance planning I hope to have future students have an increasingly active role in completing the service project.
The class of 2018 also left Sioux Trail a framed poem and photograph of the class as well as establishing an award that recognizes a member of the staff. "The Gaitley" is named after the student who started the award and recognizes a member of the staff who has gone above an beyond to make Sioux Trail the wonderful place that it is.
