Project Ideas from Spring '09 Teen Council Retreat
Posted on Wednesday May 20, 2009 by Sara Ryan
Representatives from seven teen councils came to the retreat last Saturday!
Here is a (dark and blurry, sorry) photo of our very cool guest speaker Kevin Carroll talking to everyone:
One activity we did was to have each person write down an idea for something they'd like teen councils to do in the future. Here are your ideas:
- A project for middle school to high school students to give them suggestions for books that they may need for school or to help improve their reading
- Help little kids with school things like reading, math, etc.
- Tutoring kids who struggle at reading
- Book drive for kids who don't have books
- Mind games, more activities
- Investigating a crime but using books, like who stole a book
- We should have a summer retreat where we can make our own smoothies!
- I would like to have a carnival type of event for little kids.
- Clean up around the library and publicize the fact that we need to not litter.
- Some sort of large reading celebration at Central Library
- Outdoor activities: tag, water fights, 2 hand touch football etc.
- Go iceskating (2 people!)
- Go to Oaks Park
- Going on field trips
- Papier-maché sculptures
- Book club
- Water fight (balloons, water guns, etc.) in the park. Ice cream afterwards.
- Teen Council recruiting video or music video
- Go to Ka-Nee-Ta
- Learn more icebreakers
