Alicia Sitting on her Tent
"Ahhhh...My marshmallow is on fire!"
On March 27-28, 2010, a small group of 7 students, Alicia Ward, Caleb Jones, Cassy Cuellar, Randy Moreno, Cesar Bautista, Jessie Romo, and Elais Laurilla and two teachers, Kristy Reeves and Savannah Harte, took a camping trip to Pace Bend Travis County Park to do some community service for the Pace Bend Bicycle Race.
Everyone met up at the school on March 27th at 4:00pm with all their gear ready to go camping! We arrived at Pace Bend and set up camp. Everyone got their very own tent to set up and sleep in. After we set up our tents, we put on our swimwear and walked down to the freezing cold water and skipped rocks.
When we all had enough of the freezing water we walked back to camp and cooked hot dogs on the grill and ate our dinner around the campfire. Then before we went to bed we made smores and bonded around the campfire.
The next morning we all woke up at 7:00am and immediately walked over to the bike race to sign ourselves in as volunteers. Once we were done with that we went to our post and got ready to hand out water bottles to the bikers that were about to pass by. When we were done with that we got complimentary Subway meals and then we packed our stuff up and went back home. The trip was great and I feel like everyone there really got to know each other a lot better and we’re all closer than we’ve ever been!

Awesome work. You not only did team building but also helped people who were pushing their bodies to the extreme by passing out precious water. And you had fun!
