This week I got to teach a lot of classes (mostly handwashing). Before I even introduced myself in one class, a student (either 1st or 2nd grade) asked me if I was Clara Barton's daughter. It was so cute! I guess he saw the Red Cross on my name tag and they had recently read about Clara Barton in school. [Fun fact: I did a project/presentation about Clara Barton when I was in 4th grade and now I get to work for the organization that she created!] It is amazing the number of kids see my name tag and ask me about my job just from seeing the Red Cross (a lot of them ask if I'm a doctor or nurse).
This coming week is full of a bunch of new things. Monday is Martin Luther King Day which is a day of service for AmeriCorps. On Monday, I'm volunteering at an event for youth and families that is about music and MLK. Then, I'm helping some of my Red Cross Club members teach the Scrubby Bear Handwashing Program in some of their feeder schools. Finally, on Saturday I get to volunteer with one of my other clubs at King's Harvest again! It is going to be a fun week and I'll have a lot to write about!
