Crafty Floor Event

Describe it...  

Since the theme for our floor is "Fruits of the Spirit," we built a tree out of construction paper and we each made what "fruit" represents us most and put it up on the tree (ex: watermelon - kindness). This tree was put up on the wall at the end of our hallway. I also put out some magazines so the girls could construct a "Who I am" collage. The third crafty project was to write a letter to themselves that I will give them at the end of the year. They were able to do one or all of these projects.  I also bought some snackes for this event.

Number that Attended: 

12 

Publicity: 

emails, ad on our floor facebook page, posters 

Set-Up:

not very much set-up needed. I just brough out the magazines from the RA office, and put out crafy material like construction paper, scissors, glue, etc.

Clean-Up:

Some of the girls stayed behind and helped clean up some of the mess from cutting out magazines and all.

$ (insert event cost here)

About $8 (for the snacks)

Positive Outcomes: 

It was a great time to get away from homework and reflect on what makes each girls so unique (by thinking through what fruit of the spirit best represents them as well as making a collage of who they are) 

What would you have done differently? 

Nothing really  

Would You Do This Activity Again?  

 For sure!

Blacklight Dance Party! Oh yeahhh!! :)

Describe it...  

One of my girls said that she would love to have a dance party for her birthday. And so we did!! We had a floor/core event, where our floor (3 South), and the 2 freshman core on my floor (Core 16 and Core 24) were invited to come to a Blacklight Dance Party! Since it was an organized dance party, and it was coed, I had to apply for it through SDL and obtain an approved playlist. So, I reserved the RCF for the evening and we had our floor/core blacklight dance party!! We also had some snacks. So much funnn!!

Location Location Location... 

RCF - Ralph Carey Forum - lower level of the Student Center  

Number that Attended: 

way too many to keep count!! People not in my floor or either of the cores also came! Great fun!!

Publicity: 

Posters, facebook page, emails. 

I also told the PAs of the 2 cores to tell it to their core kids!  

Set-Up:

The birthday girl, some of her friends, some girls from my floor, and one of the PAs helped with set up.  

Clean-Up: 

same people who set up also cleaned up. Also, some of the boys from one of the cores helped in putting the room back to order at the end of the dance party.  

$ (insert event cost here)

didn't really keep an exact amount. But I would say just a few dollars for snacks.  

Positive Outcomes: 

such a FUN event. Great times dancing and just being ourselves. It was great to see the girls to feel so free and just dance around. The cores are very close to each other so they just had a lot of fun dancing around together. 

What would you have done differently? 

Nothing at all!  

Would You Do This Activity Again?
