Many of you know that while Ellen and I work on the TV version of 'Whatever It Takes!' in Los Angeles, I work on a local version right here in San Diego. I spend time with different kids and support them as they do 'Whatever It Takes' at their schools and in their communities.
Here's what's going on with Room 5.....
This morning I listened to different groups pitch me their ‘Whatever It Takes!’ project ideas. So creative! Some students put their presentation to song, others drew pictures, there was even a dance routine! The one thing they all had in common was the conviction that their cause/project should be chosen. Yet, there could only be one winner…and the winner was…(drum roll please)…… Group #2!
Group #2 proposed a revamping of the school’s playground field, which is in need of bases. Instead of waiting for the school to fix the problem, they are going to raise the money by organizing a recycling fundraiser. As one of the student's said, “It may be hard, but if anyone can do it, Room 5 can.” I believe him!
Do 'Whatever It Takes!' September 19th…
I’m thrilled to announce that our local ‘Whatever It Takes!’ group is going to participate in the 25th Annual Coastal Cleanup Day! Our group is going to do the beach cleanup in Mission Bay near the Belmont Roller Coaster (yes, you get a free ticket to ride the rollercoaster if you participate in the cleanup J). I’m happy to hear that Kaela and Ashley are hoping to be there. Anyone else? It would be great to get as many of you as possible. If you want more info email me at shernholm@hotmail.com .
"Shout Out!"….
Recently I asked how many of you were still doing ‘Whatever It Takes!’ in your life. “Shout Out” to Valerie for getting her friends together to do a community service project. I can’t wait to hear what they come up with! If you want to get inspired visit Do Something and/or Kids Care. Let me know how you do 'Whatever It Takes!'.
Keep those emails/posts coming...
I love hearing from you,
Miss Hernholm
