My crew (fundraising) helped inform community members about our project, get donations, and funding for our project so that all other parts could be possible (construction, planning etc.). My subcrew was focused on grants that we may apply for and raise awareness for the importance of funding this project.
We focused on stage craft so that the other teams could focus on what they needed to do. This allowed for more things to get done and for everything to turn out really well.
Students worked together in their own crews as well as collaborated with other crews. For example, the Oral History Crew relied heavily on the skills of the Technology Crew to take their raw footage and make it ready to show off on the big night.
We helped people see how great the park was through our interviews and helping people understand why we would want to bring it back. It brought to light the unforgotten memories and the good times had at the park. –Arrick Moore
We interviewed people who went to the pool when they were younger and got more information on the subject. I also made a poster on the people I interviewed, stayed at the CBL night and talked to people who came in and gave them information on what we were doing and why we were doing the CBL. –Julie Larson
We made a timeline of past events surrounding the Marshall pool so we could understand and learn from past mistakes made. –David Sharp
We helped illustrate the history of the pool and events surrounding it. –Aiden Calhoun
We worked closely together and freely expressed our thoughts and opinions on what action was the best to take to result in the best outcome for everyone. Overall I believe we had amazing communication. –Keira Shepard
