Meeting One

We had our first meeting this week to discuss what we think about the project with the company Strong Design.

We had many ideas from the start of the meeting so most of the time was spent comparing ideas and figuring out how we wanted to approach the project. Some of the broad ideas suggested were:

• Athletics
• Transportation
• A pamphlet/newsletter
• Parent and child interaction

We decided that we all like the idea of a pamphlet or newsletter to keep the parents and children involved with all the activities that are going on in the community. We think it should be sent to the house and not just handed out at school so it will definitely make it to the parents and everyone will have equal opportunity to participate.

We also like the idea of an athletic program. We were thinking about something like a soccer team that everyone could participate in and enjoy. We were thinking about having different communities form different teams so there would be a fun competition between the kids; give them something to play for.

We decided that we needed to run some of our ideas by the director of Strong Communities before making any specific decisions so we gave the job of sending an email to Mr. Charles to one of our team members. Hopefully after we hear from him we will be able to make some more specific decisions.
