Into The Streets
We started out the morning handing out t-shirts and getting our picture taken. Then we were separated into groups and dismissed to get donuts and juice. My group didn’t have to be anywhere until 10am so we decided to go to Kum and Go to pick up more food. Even with this little side trip and all the construction we arrived at our destination by 9:30am.
The Sergeant Floyd Welcome Center is located on a boat right by the Missouri River. We spent all morning raking the area around the Welcome Center and by noon we had 20 huge sacks filled with leaves, sticks, and dead grass. It was quite a workout, even for us track athletes. The woman in charge of the Welcome Center even provided cookies and lemonade and later on even bought us pizza. “It was hard work, but the food made it totally worth it,” Tyler Figge, a junior at Morningside, said. Overall it was a very nice day and it was fun going out and helping in the community.
