Journal Reflection 2

This week at Escuela Vieau the staff was throwing and Easter celebration for the students and their family. It's a large event hosted every year with everything from music to a book fair to a staff member dressed up in an Easter bunny costume. It takes a lot of people to run the event and every volunteer counts. Many of the students including myself came to get extra hours and a chance to take some good photos. Hours before parents started coming, staff and volunteers were setting everything up and getting their stations ready. I was assigned to the face painting station. I was able to talk to a lot of parents while I was painting faces so I used it as an opportunity to ask some questions. Many of the parents came to support the school by partaking in the raffle and get photos of their children with the "Easter bunny". They all think very highly of the after school programs provided for their children and they want to show their support of it. While the parents are not very visible they are an incredibly important in keeping their kids involved. Without their support the program would not exist.
