COPE 2010 - Students has a great time

Lisa Sciamanna, district Interact committee member and one of the organizing members of the COPE course for high school students reported the following after a successful day in March 2010:

We had a GREAT TIME!  

 

We had 14 to start...2 left early and were unable to participate in the high course..but I think they had fun the 2 hours they were there.

 

After our lunch was the highlight of the day!!  Eveyone of the 12 had a ball on the zip line...40 feet up!!   They all worked really hard and climbed the"Giants Ladder"  where the rungs of the ladder are 5 feet apart....they balanced on the "high swings"  and were exhausted by the end of the day....the weather was great!  A bit cold in the morning but hoodies were great for the afternoon....

 

The staff at the camp were excellant...the COPE director just great and very patient with the kids...he could talk them into trying everything..even my Elle...who was adamant she wasn't doing the high swings...of course she was the only one not to finish after falling between swing 2 and 3 but she tried...thank God for the safety lines they all wear.....

 

Anyway, it was a fun time and I am happy to say a great success!!

Earth Day Project Opportunity

Calling all Interactors to create their own Earth Day message

2010 is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day and it falls on April 22nd.  To celebrate this important day and to create awareness about environment and sustainability in the community, we have created a unique and innovative project for all members of Interact Clubs to participate. Here is how you can participate:

 

1. Students are asked to use their imagination, design, and creative skills to come up with a green/sustainability (for example: going green, recycling, conserve water, energy & paper, eat local, etc.) message that can be printed on a 5 x 7 card.  They can create this either electronically (using computer graphic tools) or on a physical card (paint, sketch, draw).

 

2. Submit your designs by April 25, 2010.  You can submit your project electronically to uday.shah@yahoo.com or send to the following address: Uday Shah, 305 Glenn Avenue, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234.

 

3. All designs will be put up on a website for students and public at large for vote to select the most popular designs.

 

4. The top three designs will receive a cash prize of $50 each.

 

5. We will select at least the top 10 designs based on the online vote and convert them into post cards for sale.  Proceeds from the sale of the postcards will benefit Interact activities and other green initiatives in South Jersey.

 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Uday Shah at uday.shah@yahoo.com or 609-703-0409.
