Welcome to my week nine blog. It's been nine weeks and we've been able to make a lot of progress, especially this week. There is a short five weeks left of our project, and we've established goals for each week. This week, we reached out to the lifesavers club at our school, all about mental health awareness. We told them about our plan and they told us to give them the details, and that they'll get back to us, which leads me into week two. Our plan for next week is to get the word about the yoga session out next week and a definite date. After that, our next step is to find a space. We'd like to do it outside at the track, but midwest weather is unpredictable, so we're going to try to reserve the gym, just in case. After that, we plan to plan the actual yoga session and decide on what moves we're going to use, as they're is many . Finally, we are going to de-stress from this progress, by performing the moves as well. I hope you've enjoyed this blog.
Hello, and welcome to my week eight blog post! I'm sad to say that this week, we have made no real progress. Unfortunately, we have not had a lot of time to work on our project. We've been unable to discuss much, as our schedules clash quite often, but we still have many plans in the making. As the project progresses, we continue to feel as though we go slower and slower. This process is very aggravating, because we seem to make a lot of progress, but in reality we are falling short of what we would like to achieve. In other news, we've noticed our school has been doing their share in mental health awareness, and have been selling t-shirts in order to spread suicide awareness, which is amazing. We hope to be as impactful in our school as the project goes on. I hope we make more progress in the coming week, and also that you enjoyed reading my week eight blog.
Hello, and welcome to my week seven blog! In just a short week, we have so much more to talk bout. Today, we met for the first time in a few weeks and have decided that our spring event would benefit the most from being held after school, at our school. As we discussed this I brought up a potential idea for our event- yoga! I brought this up, because it has always helped me be less anxious and a lot of research says that yoga has been proven to help people who suffer from anxiety and depression. Also, high school is quite stressful, and it helps a lot to slow down and breath. Although it's not set in stone, we think it is a great option for us. As we continue our project, we continue learning new things about ourselves, others and mental health, which we hope people can benefit the same from it.
Happy New Year! I know that I'm bit late to posting this blog, but this leads me perfectly into the theme of this weeks blog, resolutions. To begin, I hope to be more timely with posting, for I feel as though I haven't been taking posting seriously enough. My next resolution is to take our project off the ground. We are all very excited where our project is going, but we really to need to put our plans into motion. We first plan to start taking our project to the next level, by putting our project on social media. We've had an Instagram for a very long time, but we've been kind of inactive on it, which I take full blame for, and plan to post much more. We recently made a Twitter which can be reached @PAuxilum. In the future, we really hope that we can also get the word out about us around the school. Here's to a fabulous 2018!
It's our fifth week of blogging, and also the start of December! Our next goal is to start our fundraising as soon as possible. As of right now, our plan is to do our fundraising through the school. plan to start talking to adults about our fundraisers next week.
Last week on Tuesday, we presented our project to the class, to see what they think we need to work on as well as what they liked about our project. A majority of the class agreed that we need to work on setting goals, respecting boundaries, and advertisement. Despite that, the class agrees that our project could be very successful and impactful. The thing we are struggling with the most is making the most of our time. We seem to always push stuff off to the last minute, which we are working on. We continue to work hard to put on an excellent event in the spring. Oh my, it's already been a month of blogging! Although the time has gone fast, the motion of our project has not. We seem to be struggling with the race against time. Another challenge we are finding is our conflicting schedules which is also making things difficult. Despite all that, we have contacted a few people and groups(ENCO and Lifesavers), but not much else has gotten done. Our main focus right now is our fundraisers, which we have laid the foundation for and we simply need the school's permission to begin them. We plan to do most of them through the school and also do some services outside the This week we plan to figure out the fine details of our events like if we are going to have a speaker and who we want to help, and a rough idea for the cost of rent in hopes to make our event successful.
It’s the third week of blogging and we’ve finally begun to put things into motion and we couldn't be more excited about it. We started sending out e-mails and even getting a few responses.Our next step is to reach out to some facilities and therapist for their advice and hopefully, assistance. So far, we’ve contacted our lifesavers club as well as our community service club. We also figured out we want to put our event on in May because it is Mental health awareness month. We are still trying to work out fundraisers and plan to put them on as soon as we possibly can. We've decided on our ideal location for our event( a local park), but we're still finding the cost and schedule. With how much progress we've had this week, I'm excited to see what will happen next.
Guess who's back, back again. It's me, Jackie here to write about our second week of progress. At the moment, we are trying to work out dates, contacts, and fundraisers. For our contacts, I think we will most likely reach out to a local therapist( of all types), hospitals who offer mental health services, and some larger organizations near us We haven't put much into motion yet, but we are working on putting on fundraisers(like penny wars, selling t-shirts and maybe a 50/50 at a sporting event. Our goal would be starting fundraisers next month. We also are able to work on social media pages(Instagram), which I will link when we think it's a reasonable time. Our team is also continuing trying to find more ideas for fundraising for our event in the spring. We are still working hard on finding dates and trying to put "Project Auxilium" on the map.

Introduction-Week OneHello! I'm Jackie and I attend Civic Memorial High School. I am working on this amazing project, "Project Auxilium" with two of my friends as well. We decided to do this project together because we all have a passion for raising awareness for mental health because we all have family members who suffer or have suffered from some form of mental illness. We also noticed that many of our friends who have problems have no clue what they are, and believe that its normal. Our goal is to raise awareness for mental health, but we are not exactly sure what we event we plan to put on, potentially a mental health fair, a five k/ fun run or picnic. In order to put on this event, we plan to do many fundraisers through our school and community, like penny wars, selling t-shirts and whatever else that seems to benefit us. My fear is that we may not be successful in advertising and have little turn out to our event, but I believe that we will be able to do well. To combat this fear, we are going start and manage a few social media pages(most likely an Instagram page and Twitter) to spread awareness as well. Our dream would be to be able to make our event annual and not just a one time project. I'm very excited to be able to work with an amazing team to make a big difference in our small town. |
