This week, we focused on the skate park project. We decided that we would all continue working on it since we had initially helped with the proposal. We discussed the possible grants that we needed to apply in order to get funded. Mrs. Rempp came to inform us about varies grants that she had found, including the Tony Hawk foundation and the California department of parks and recreation. She also gave us phone numbers of people who we could contact to ask what they did to acquire a skate park. She told us that this would be a very long process the CA department of parks would take two to three years so she said that our best bet would be the Tony Hawk foundation which only took one year. But even then she said that because it was a long process to not get discouraged because there are many more grants available out there we just have to look, so with that she offered her help to assist us in anything we needed help with. So besides working on the skate park we have also been planning and writing our own proposals. We decided that we did not want to do individual projects so we decided to divide in small groups to work on a project together. We had a student store in mind so we planned to work on that. The student store consists of many smaller areas that we can include. Some of the things we had in mind were constructing a booth, making our own t-shirts to sell, and selling baked goods.
