What happened at the service site?
On Friday, March 29, 2019 Hoke County Schools partnered with Feed the Children to provide supplies to LEAs that were affected by Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael. The Hoke County Schools Student Support Services Department hosted the distribution site for Feed the Children. The HCS support staff members were at the distribution site at 8:15 am to set up the refreshment stand which included breakfast danishes, assorted juice, bottled water, chips, and assorted nuts. During this time we also designated parking for our traveling guest.  This was to ensure that guest would be able to enter and exit the drive thru at their designated pick up time.

As I worked to complete my service project, I was able to see the one team with one goal as we teamed together with other departments in our district for one common goal. I was fortunate to work with people whom I typically have little or no social interaction with throughout the day.  My biggest take away from not only this service project, but the course as well has been effective leadership styles. A leader should be effective, flexible, and emphasize the importance of relationships. Keeping those attributes in mind, I did my best to be a good leader who not only delegated task, but also participated in task work as well.  ]]> 2019-04-17 14:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cnb012/8hkhnafsbwgk/wish/352312839 cnb012 https://padlet.com/cnb012/8hkhnafsbwgk/wish/352432122 2019-04-17 21:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cnb012/8hkhnafsbwgk/wish/352432122 cnb012 https://padlet.com/cnb012/8hkhnafsbwgk/wish/353025685 With whom did I interact? 
  1. Local Education Agencies (LEAs)
  2. School Social Workers
  3. Maintenance Department
  4. AudioVisual (AV) Department Staff
  5. Homeless Education State Coordinators 
  6. The Truck Driver for Feed the Children

What were their roles and my roles? 
Each LEA was responsible for transporting their own supplies back to their home county.  As a sponsor/host it was my responsibilities were to make sure that there were enough maintenance men to unload the supply truck, organize supplies for the drive thru pick up, and to ensure that each LEA received their districts' supplies.
