Service Projects

• The top 3 service projects that the community has
  chosen are
• A teen center were teens can go and just hang
  out, play games, and stay out of trouble.
• Water and sewer was also chosen as a very
  important need because some people dont have a
  way to get water.
• And our traditional lifestyle has been lost so
  our community has voted it to be the highest
  need.
• (These community needs are to difficult for a
  student to do alone so I have chosen to do
  another need for my service project and it is
  trash disposal.)

Cookies

• Instead of doing one of the highest
  community needs I have decided to hand out
  cookies to some elders who cannot bake for
  themselves.
• I baked 12 cookies and handed 2 cookies to 6
  elders. After giving them their cookies they said
  thank you and asked me to make more cookies.
  While I was leaving their houses it made me feel
  good because of what they said to me.
