Capstone Committee Update February 21st

After several months of meeting with our committees, we have made significant progress in planning our conference and trip as well as planning opportunities to participate in service work with the local non-profit, Our House.   

The Trip Logistics Committee has been busy planning various portions of our trip including: calling hotels to inquire about pricing and lodging options, researching restaurants in close proximity to our trip locations, as well as researching activities and possible locations to visit that address our theme of Global Issues in Arkansas. 


The Conference Logistics Committee have focused on organizing an experienced and knowledegable panel of speakers that can address topics pertinent to our theme, deciding on a space at school that will work well for the conference as well as organizing refreshments for our speakers and guests during the conference.


The Finance Committee has been developing the budgets that each of the committees have to work with to plan the conference and the trip.  


The Conference and Trip Curriculum Committees have focused their attention on activities and assignments that each of us will complete during and after the conference and the trip.   


The Public Relations Committee has designed our 2013-2014 Capstone T-shirt as well as writing a press release informing the 8th grade parents about the Capstone project.  


The Service Committee has worked with Our House to plan and finalize service opportunities.
