Captain Blanchard had some difficult decisions to make on Thursday and many of her shipmates didn't make it any easier.
As leaders you will face difficult decisions. You can't avoid them, you can't have someone else make them, and you must live with them. You probably won't have to choose who is left to fight pirate terrorists on a cruise ship, but you will probably have to decide how much money should be spent on decorations or candy, or even something more serious. (IF you can imagine something more serious than candy!!)
And on the other side of this, as a leader you must convince others WHY your opinion and ideas should count! In our activity on Thursday, you were given the opportunity to convince Captain Blanchard why she should choose you. Considering the circumstances, maybe you should've talked about your strong rowing muscles instead of your great smiles. Consider the situation. Applying this back to money and candy, convince us WHY you need $50 for the activity room!
Budgeting is something we need to take seriously as a class because we are accountable to FILA for all the money we spend. The money we spend comes directly from the proceeds of the student store. We have the RESPONSIBILITY to provide great, fun, and meaningful activities for the benefit of the entire school.
During class we came up with a budget proposal to submit to the student store class. It designated the following amounts to the respective party responsibilities:
$30 - Decor
$20 - Activity room
$3.00 - Communications
$5.00 - Refreshment table
$8.00-Music games/rewards
$14.00 - Costume contest trophies
We need to spend wisely and keep this budget in mind as we continue to plan and carry out our plans.
We are 3 weeks away from our HALLOWEEN PARTY!!
For HOMEWORK:
Keep working on a concrete plan for each of your party responsibilities. If you want me to make the purchases for you, bring me a LIST of what you need on Thursday. If you do your own shopping, SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS!
