FORMER MAYOR JOHN STREET
Today we had a seminar with former mayor John Street. John Street came to talk to us. He gave words of encouragement for the B.I.T.S program. He also talked to us about staying focus and not letting anything distract us. He ended with this quote "If a man/woman stopped to throw a stone at every barking dog they will not reach their destination".

Community
Yesterday we went to the community garden where we saw different plants. There was an older man who took care of the garden. On his spare time he watered the plants and feed them. He explained the importance of the garden. He also explained how the garden would look much better if he had more time with it.
