Mission topic , purpose and hypothesis

Our mission is to change the intramural sports program .We are trying to improve it by making it more sophisticated . The purpose is to make it competitive . Also we are  trying  to get more students to join the intramural sports  program . Our hypothesis is that if we make the intramural sports program competitive than more students will join . The reason more students will join is because it will be fun competing against other schools districts and not just competing against Hammond all the time.

 Challenges our group encountered

Challenges our group encountered  were  trying to find a sponsor or grant to help fund for the intramural sports program . Also we are trying to get local community members  to donate money to help make the intramural sports program competitive by fundraising at stores located in Alexandria . Another challenge our mission group faced was trying to hand out the surveys because we didn’t know what teachers to give it to and we didn’t know how we were going to receive them back .

Solutions we tried out

Some solutions we tried out were to contact local stores in our area and see if we could hold fundraisers at the stores .Our grew came up with this without Ms.Chintha’s support . Also another solution we tried was to give out surveys to students asking them what they think of the intramural  sports program now and what they think of it being competitive and having the students drop it off in a box in front of our classroom .Also another solution we tried out was to talk to one of the gym teachers who was in charge of the intramural sports program by asking him  do you think the sports program could become competitive and what do we need for it to be competitive .

Real world skills i learned

Three skills that i learned through this process was to give more details when asking questions . Also to not give up if your rejected  for asking for a  grant or sponsor because you get more experience from that  . Also try to do something on your own without the teachers support and try to figure the problem out your self .  I can use these skills outside the classroom to help me when asking questions . Also when were trying to get grants or sponsors for out mission project .

Next steps

Next our group needs to host fundraisers at local stores in our community . Also we need to find someone who will sponsor us or gives us a grant . Another step is to receive the surveys and collect data based on the answer the students chose. Also we need to see if the stores our group emailed or contacted will let our mission group use there collect boxes so we can have somewhere to put the money when we fund raise . Another step is to go to Crave a store located in Alexandria and host a fundraiser for the intramural sports program .

My favorite part

One of my favorite parts was giving out the surveys to see what people think . Also calling  businesses  to see if they would let us use there collect boxes or host fundraiser. Another one of my favorite parts was trying to change the intramural sports program . Also the mission project was my favorite because I’m really interested in sports .
