They don’t look very
fitting for the classroom; however, it is for a very good cause. This year, the
girls’ basketball team has lost its funding to rent the gym in Baruch College. The
Baruch’s girls’ basketball team is very strong. My jaw dropped when I looked at
the team’s record for the past few years. They ended each of their seasons on a
very strong note. With this much potential, how could you possibly let it all
go to waste? I really don’t understand how it is possible for their funding to
be cut. Seriously, it’s ridiculous. I think that this bottle and can collecting
competition was pretty clever. It’s a unique method to fundraise to get their
funding back for the gym, and it’s also a great way to get the whole school
involved, both recycling and making money. Who says that you have to be on a
sports team to be a part of the school? Support your school’s girls’ basketball
team and every time you finish a bottle, put it in your advisor’s big plastic
bag. The girls’ basketball team will go around collecting your advisory’s bag
of bottles every Monday. Remember, this is a competition. Bring on the
competitiveness and show us what you are made of! Winners get a prize from the
prize box! Good luck y’all!
