Each week night, during the school year, the school is open at night for the community to use the gym. It’s about the only source of entertainment (other than video games, tv, and mischief) that the community has. Each year, the school receives a grant from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) to fund the salary of one person to supervise the gym night. At the beginning of each school year we have about a three to four week period until the ADA Grant kicks in, so it’s traditionally been a fund raiser for different school organizations to earn money and charge the students/community members to come use the gym (it’s free when the ADA grant kicks in). This year, Kaitlyn has volunteered to co-supervise Student Government. One of her duties was to supervise gym night so Student Government could earn the money. Supervising consists of taking money and refusing entrance to those students who are not allowed to participate because they were either tardy to class or had an unexcused absence that day. She had to be there at 6pm - 9pm. That doesn’t sound too long, but add that to a 7 am start day, it turns into a very long day. She’s a trooper for doing it.
