One of the DI teams at Haw Creek Elementary School this year has chosen the Service Learning Challenge. Their task was to identify a need and create a solution to meet that need. The children brainstormed and wanted to choose a need that they could identify with. They created and implemented a school-wide parent survey and discovered that many children at the school do not participate in any extra-curricular activities due to financial constraints. They have created a program called “Chances for Children” which will be a scholarship fund to allow children to participate in activities of their choice.
They are going to host an event “the Great Escape Race” on January 11, 2019, at Haw Creek Elementary School in the gym from 6-8pm. It will be a hybrid adventure/obstacle race/escape room for all ages. Teams of 2-5 will take on a series of challenges to get clues to help them ESCAPE!
There will also be a new “Lending Locker” for local community members to donate used equipment, uniforms, gear- ANYTHING extra that a child would need to participate in an extra-curricular activity. We will collect and inventory and make these free to anyone in need! These items will be collected at the race.
We need MANY volunteers to help the event run smoothly!! Please sign up! If you have any questions or need any information- or want to help with the cause but cannot attend the race- please contact us at chancesforchildrencarolinas@gmail.com .
