The updates on my lead project include:
The upcoming events are for the month of November we are planning to sell caramel apples the week before thanksgiving and the month of December we are going to sell candy canes so that people will have a treat after lunch and so we can donate some money to charity. What we are planning to do is first we have to get the caramel apples and we are going to ask the ASB to help us pay for the caramel apples. After that is arranged we are going to advertise by hanging posters on the schools hallways and spreading the word to everyone we see. Then we are going to start setting up the sale in the cafeteria and we are going to ask more people to help us on that. So far if the sells go as planned we will be donating a fair amount of money to charity and we are going to help our community by doing that because we are helping the people who are less fortunate.
Goals:
Our goals to accomplish are to have the sell run smoothly and get enough money to pay the ASB and give the rest to charity. Another goal I have is to get a lot of people involved so that we can become closer and not hesitate when we have a problem because there would be others to help us out. Our goal is to have the sell be a success and further on have different kinds of sells at our school.
Plans:
The plans we have so far so that the candy grams will be a success include:
We are going to have the sell during lunch on Nov. 15-19. We are going to put posters on the hallways during seventh period and ask Ms. Fitz if she could ask other kids if they are willing to help us label and deliver the caramel apples. We could also use some help in selling the caramel apples during lunch because so far we have three people and I don't think that is enough. So after the sell is done we are going to donate the money to charity. So for the month of December we are going to start planning the candy canes sell which we are hoping to start selling on Dec. 6-9. We are going to do the same thing for the sell on December.

Different Projects List
The projects I am planning to lead this semester and the students who are helping me include:
1. For the month of November and December the project I am doing is I'm going to be selling candy grams on the week before Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is my semester project. For now this is the only project I am working on because I have no idea what my other projects are going to be. The people who are going to help me are: Molly W, Ramneet and other people I still have to ask to help sell the candy grams during lunch time and also people to help me advertise, sort, and deliver the candy grams.
2.Right now the candy grams project is the one I am planning to lead this semester with Molly W. because it's going to take the whole semester to make this happen. The people who are going to help me are: Ramneet and other people who are willing to help.

What might not work and how I will solve it
*Need people to advertise,sell, and deliver pops.
To make sure this is not a problem my group will ask other leadership students to help us advertise during IP working time. We can also make signs at home and bring them to school and tell our friends or leadership students to help us put them in the hallways of our school. The first day or so before the sell we can ask Ms. Fitz to ask leadership students if they would be willing to help us sell our candy grams during lunchtime.
*Some people may not buy pops
Even though the candy grams we are trying to sell are really cheap some people don't buy candy grams and that will lower our goal of selling 10 bags per day.
But to make sure a lot of people buy and hear about the sell of candy grams we will advertise and spread the word to our friends and so on.
*May not get the preparation in time for the Halloween sale
We are not going to be able to sell Halloween Grams because it's too late and there hasn't been any advertising or funding made for the candy.
What my partner and I have decided to do are Turkey grams for Thanksgiving instead. We will probably sell caramel apples for the turkey grams. Now that we know what we are going to sell we will have more time to advertise and spread the word. In addition, we are going to have more time to maybe get funded by the ASB. We might start the sale during the week of Nov.15-19.

By the end of this project what I would like to see as the end result is to be able to donate a large sum of money we make by selling the candy grams to charity. I want my team members and I to make this project work and run smoothly. We will have to attach candy, properly separate it, and deliver it. This project will align with our mission and goals as a class because we are improving our community by raising money to donate to charity. By helping charity we are making the world a better place.
The biggest obstacles or challenges we think we might face are getting the candy, having time to sort and deliver the candy. In class we would have to sort the tags for the different classes,and tape the candy to them. If we have more people it will be much easier because it wouldn't take as long. We could either buy the candy or have people in our class help us by bring a bag or two of candy.
The milestones we are going to meet are:
Before Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas we were thinking of setting up a gram sale and donating all the profits to charity. We will sell the candy grams for 25 cents each. How this will work:
1. The week before each sell the group will:
a.prepare labels to tape tp the candy(printing/cutting out in appropriate colors/pictures)
b. collect the candy itself.
c.advertise/make signs around the school.
2. At lunch for the week of each sale, there will be a table set up during lunch. Buyers will:
a. give the money to one person.
b. another person will give them the labels.
c. on the labels the buyer will write who they want to send the candy gram to, who the candy gram is from, and the teacher of the recipients last period class.
3. Later, that day in leadership class the group will attach the candy to the labels and then separate them to the class they will go to. Finally, we will deliver them to the appropriate classrooms.
The Milestones for the Dates These Events Will Take Place are:
Oct. 11-17: collect Halloween candy, make Halloween labels and advertise.
Oct. 25-29: sell Halloween candy grams during lunch and deliver them during leadership class.
Nov. 15-19: collect Thanksgiving candy, make Thanksgiving labels and advertise.
Nov. 22-24: sell Thanksgiving candy, make Thanksgiving labels and advertise.
Dec. 1-10: collect candy canes, make Christmas labels and advertise.
Dec. 13- Break: sell candy cane grams.
I will work really hard to meet the deadlines. I will make sure everyone in my group is doing their jobs and are not slacking off. I will manage our time well so that we don't get behind with the deadlines.
The following are the materials we will need to succesfully carry out our project:
- Candy for Halloween and Thanksgiving
-Candy canes for Christmas
- Orange, black, brown, purple, red, and green printer paper for the labels
- Tape to attach the candy grams and labels
- Table to use for sell at lunch
- Sign makings to advertise
Other things we need besides materials to be succesful in selling our candy grams are people willing to help make signs to advertise, attach the labels to the candy grams, sorting the labels and help us deliver them. We also need someone to help us count the money after the sell.
Here are the jobs people will be doing if they choose to help:
- make signs to hang around school (2-3 people)
- sell the candy grams during lunch ( 2 people)
- sort and assemble the candy grams ( 3-5 people)
- deliver the candy grams ( 4-5 people)
My plan to hold myself and my group accountable for the success of our project is.
I will make sure my group is on task, doing their assigned job and not slacking off. I will manage the time for everyone in my group to have enough time to advertise, sell, sort and deliver the candy grams.
