Community Service Day

We will be posting all of the meeting locations for the various teams sometime tomorrow so be sure to check back.   You can plan to be dropped off and picked up in the same location.  Here are a few important points:
1) Safety is the most important point.  Just like when you were a little kid trick or treating you have to assume all cars don't see you.  Do not walk in the street, make sure your entire group is well off the path of cars.
2) Be a positive representation of Whitman Hanson.  If people decline politely thank them and say good bye by inviting them to a game.
3) Wear something that represents our school and your teams.  Game shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, etc.
4) when people give you footwear, please tie the left and right shoe together so they will be easy to sort later.
5) at least one person in your group should have a trash bag.  Pick of trash along your route.


Here is what you should say when you knock on a door:
"Hi, we are student athletes at Whitman Hanson....we are working on a community service project where today more than 400 of use are going through our two towns collecting old and unwanted footwear.  We are going to donate some of them to local families in need, some will be sent over seas and others will be recycled.  We will take any type of foot wear regardless of condition."

If they say no, you can offer to comeback or you could tell people that they could drop them off at the high school before Wednesday next week.


We will collect from noon- 2:45pm.  Captains should meet back at the high school at 3pm in room 159 so we can count.  Please bring your trash bags too so we can see which teams collected the most.
