SOS 2010 Day 1

Hey Parents... today was a great day, but today was hot. All of our teams worked really hard on the work sites. Our projects this week include shingling, deshingling, tearing off siding, siding, painting, and landscaping. I'm really proud of our students because they worked so hard today even in the heat. We were blessed to have a safe day, but if you ask the students they will be able to tell you war stories. One student stepped on a nail today, but thankfully Brett our EMT is able to keep an eye on her and she is doing fine. We also had one student get a little sick from the heat. However she is doing much better after a couple hours of resting and drinking water.

I'm pretty sure that my favorite moment from the day was when I found out that two of our teams had to wear Haz-Mat suits because they were taking off siding with lead paint in it. I'm so thankful my group is on the roof and not in those dorky, hot, non-breathing suits.

We are looking forward to a great program tonight and I'm so ready for dinner. And of course, Sonic run #3.

We'll post more tomorrow.
