Genius hour is more than halfway through! We have definitely faced some problems and had to revise our plans. Midway through we changed our original plan from a food drive to a Thanksgiving food drive to help people in need during the holiday season. We ran into some difficulties by changing so quickly that unfortunately it didn't work out as we had hoped. The communication was a problem that was hard to get around since we needed approval from the schools to have a site there. There also was not enough time to get everything orchestrated. We are a little bummed that it didn't work out, but on the bright side socktober-tober was a success! We are going to pick up the socks Wednesday after school and distribute them as needed. Although we have not seen the results of Socktober, we have word that it was a success and that the students at North donated socks for us to use! Even though both of our food drive ideas did not go as planned, our original goal was to help out people in need and contribute to our community. With this being said, we are now aiming towards a hat and glove drive at Hillsdale United Methodist Church and Mr. Barker’s and Mr. Ferebee’s room at Davie in the upcoming week. There will be boxes in each room for students to donate winter hats and gloves starting next week. We have already reached out and confirmed a spot and date at the church for when this will be happening, which was a big flaw in our previous plans. Makenna is planning on being on the campus of the church this sunday and she will maintain the drive. The drive will run for two weeks and in our final week we will donate to Storehouse for Jesus. Hopefully this idea will work in our favor and we can donate socks, hats, and warm winter gear as our final product. We are so thankful for North Davie staff and students for donating and helping out our project!

I am really proud of you guys for pushing through the challenges and getting things done when you can and getting new ideas out for what to do when things do go wrong. Thats a good lesson to learn from this.
