The PTO Picnic

Hi!
As my first post on this blog I would like to give a brief overview of what i have been up to these first weeks of school. After a knee injury last year I have successfully started horse back riding again and am enjoying it very much. I have also joined the track team - which is new for me and even though it was quite hard in the beginning it feels really great to improve my skills in different types of activities, such as running, discus and long-jump. Of course it is also fun to be part of a team. The interact club is another of my for now on going projects. My committee, finance, meets once every second week and in addition to that we have meeting with the whole club and also go for different service projects during weekends.

Most recently we had a PTO picnic at school, at which I sold hot dog to raise money for my grade and also helped Interact selling the books we donated. This went quite well and we made lots of profit. Selling hot dogs is one thing, but books might need advertising and that is a very important skill to master I think. I think I  did a pretty good job at this but since my shift was last on the day there were not that many people left at the picknick so mostly i helped packing away the non-sold books and the tables. We also attempted to produce some cotton candy, but it proved much more complicated than we thought and the machine actually broke down after a while.
