Meeting on March 29, 2019 AGENDA Girls will wear T-Shirts starting Monday, April 15, 2019 and Friday, April 19, 2019. Students will walk two days a week until May 10, 2019. Nevah Porchay will handle the Log Sheets in the cafeteria (during lunch) for the 7th and 8th grade students and Madyson Thomas will for the sixth graders (during lunch). These Log Sheets will have the students’ name, number for the pedometer, and the column for the walking distance. Students will receive a number card for the pedometer. Students will take this number card to the students who will give out the pedometers for students to use for walking. When the students go to the tennis court area to walk, they will give the number card to the student(s) to receive a pedometer. The students will stop walking five minutes before the bell rings to check the pedometer back in and log their walking distance. The Girl Build club members will advertise the walking club on the announcements and posters in the hallway at Henderson. The Girl Build club members will assist the Sponsors Ms. Kelly and Mrs. Myton by making cards, numbering the cards and pedometers, and remembering to wear their T-shirts on Monday’s and Friday’s for the walking days at Henderson Middle. The Girl Build Club members will take pictures of students who participate for the walk and they will assist with uploading the information to our website and to Girl Build. The Girl Build Club members will be responsible and dependable in helping Ms. Kelly and Mrs. Myton keep up with the Log Sheets, Pedometers, and other duty responsibilities as needed or may arise during this project time. Testimonials: Alondra Hurtado "In this project we had been walking Monday, Thursday, and sometimes Friday's. We made posters and put them throughout the building. We had used the pedometers to count each students steps. We made a video at the beginning of the year. This project has really been fun. We had a good number of students to participate in our Walking Club. This project has helped me advance my communication skills." Jaliah Jackson "For the Girls Build Club I helped by creating the Girls Build Website. I helped create and draw several posters. I attended the meetings, and I also walked during lunch. Its been really fun being in Girls Build. I hope others enjoyed it too. This project has helped me further my technology skills." Carolina Perez "I participated in the first commercial when I first got in Girls Build, it was a very fun project. I also helped brainstorm poster ideas and even helped create a poster. That day was the most fun I've ever had. I've attended all the meetings and also helped out outside during lunch with the Walking Club. My creative skills have been enhanced while working with this club." Stephanie Salinas "During the Walking Club I participated in many events. One of the events was making the posters for advertising our club. Another event was brainstorming ideas for the final commercial. Lastly, I participated in walking in the walking club. In conclusion, I had a lot of fun while being in Girls Build. I am a very shy individual but this project has allowed me to branch outside of my shell and be able to communicate with my classmates." |

Reflections
Reflecting back on our Girls Build Program, some of the minor changes we would do to enhance the program would be:
1. Identify a community member who has a passion for walking to lead the charge.
2. Be sure to involve community leaders in planning, to receive their buy-in with getting the community involved.
3. Invite other key adults to lead the walk once a week.
4. When adults model good physical activity habits, students may be more likely to catch on and follow their lead.
5. Ask students to design walking routes on school grounds or in the school buildings that provide all students an opportunity to walk safely and increase their physical activity.
6. Set goals for each time the club meets. The goals can be based on the number of laps walked around a track, number of steps tabulated on a pedometer, or the number of minutes the club walks.
