Project Pansy was not at all what we had hoped it to be. We were envisioning Fernys Nursery would give us the donation we had asked for, or at least part of it. We had visited the nursery to see what we might be able to get as a donation and we found pansies and mums were our best bet. We asked them, in an email from our advisor on the project, to donate to us some pansies and mums but they never got back to us. We then took a print out of the email we had originally sent to the nursery and presented it to them. They said they would get back to us, but never did. That was one aspect of our project that we had no control over. The only thing we could possibly do different next time would be to go back to the nursery and ask them where they were at in the process of donating to our school. That might help to ensure that we would get the donation we had asked for, or even get a response telling us that they were not going to donate to us. When we had originally planned this project we could see this potential project, but did plan for it actually happening. Nothing of our project went according to how we had planned it.
This experience could make us better leaders because we learned that you cannot always rely on others to do their part so we can in turn do ours. We should have come up with some other idea to get the flowers we were wanting. I believe Cole and I worked very well together, but ran into problems that were out of our hands.
For our next project, we plan to have a Classroom Clean Up afternoon. We plan to have people signup and clean teacher’s classrooms. We will have more information in the future.
