People Helping People-Nov 9th at the Food Bank

For the past few weeks we have been sorting pastries from breads but this week we mastered our assembly line; Henry sorting breads from pastries, Juan writing labels, Tyler breaking down boxes and Ben, Zach, Ryan, Rane and Zari filling, weighing and placing boxes on the palette.

October 25th - 29th

Monday- Yellow Bike

When we arrived at Yellow Bike we were greeted by Ashley.  Since we were already fimilar with the place, he led us to a table and gave each student a wheel that needed the axel to be removed, cleaned, greased, and then put back together.  As Ashley was explaining to SB how to complete the task, they acted as though they knew how to do it already.  As a surprise to everyone, it was a little harder than it looked.  On average, it took eveyone anywhere between 5-10.  It was a great learning experience for everyone!!

Cool sign in front of Yellow Bike

Look at how clean the wheel looks!
