Eagleton Team Reflection

The Eagleton Girls Team project story
Our soccer team's service-learning project was cleaning up Paco Sanchez Park. We made the park cleaner so everyone can go often to a beautiful and clean park. We walked to Paco Sanchez from our school and our coach, Ms. Gold, gave us gloves and bags. Then we picked up trash around the park and river. The next day we sorted the garbage from the recycling and put the items into the proper dumpster at our school.

In addition to cleaning up the park, the girls team took a training on visiting nursing homes through Bessie's Hope, which is an organization that works with community groups on what to expect and how to best interact with nursing home residents. When the girls visited the nursing home they brighten the hearts of the residents through their poetry and companionship. The boys team worked on planting trees around their school to offset carbon dioxide and learned about solar panels.

Clean Parks

We like to clean up the parks

That is the funnest thing to do

We help the world because we

RECYCLE

We also clean up graffiti on the playground

Let's say, if you litter you are

not helping the world

We are cleaning the Parks so

DON'T LITTER or GRAFFITI

You can help the world too

WE ARE THE PARK PROTECTORS

Community is where you live. A community is where you take care of your neighborhood and outside of your neighborhood. For example, you can help the elderly cross the street, be respectful to others, and you can recycle and pick up trash around your house.
~ Jaime M.

A community is a neighborhood or city. A community stands together to help support each other. A community has trees, buildings, and much more. A community is a good, no great thing!
~Claudia R.

Community is where you live, your environment, the street you live on. A community is also a park, school, pool, or your neighborhood. Community is what is going on in your environment. Community can be a library or it can be the people who protect you like the police, stop sign people, and the fire department. It can be the teachers and principal since they all keep the community nice and safe for others.

The Best Day Ever!

Sunny morning, no drizzle nor rain,

Seem to wake up feeling no pain,

So I get up and put on my clothes,

I look out my window, it's the crack of dawn

I go outside into the sunshine,

It's marvelous light was very divine!

I walk through the park,

though it is still dark,

End up on the bay,

What a wonderful day.
