Task #31: Volunteer at the Bear Flop (Kim)

31.  Volunteer at the Bear Flop.

I completed this task last month at Norwalk High's annual Bear Flop fundraiser.  This fundraiser raises money for a specific type of cancer each year through the Bears' Beating Cancer Club.  This year, the focus was all childhood cancers.  I sold tickets for this event at lunch, placed flyers around the school, and convinced several teachers to participate in the event.  During the Bear Flop, I collected tickets at the door.  I ended up being in a great spot to film the bellyflops.  I had trouble uploading and editing the videos from this event right away because my computer has a storage problem, but I was recently able to figure out a way to do it.  This event is a fun and unique way to fundraise; students love to come watch because it is comedic and competitive.

Here are some of the best bellyflops of the contest:

Task #13 Completed: Make an Underwater Video (Rachael)

13. "Make an Underwater Video"

My dad recently purchased a gopro which first became popular for their ability to film underwater and Kim and I thought it would be a hoot to try it out. Since I don't like to get pruney and Kim is on the swim team we thought it best if she dealt with this task hands on. I got to watch from the nice, dry bleachers as Kim swam and dove.

It took a few days (weeks) for me to figure out the program and pick an appropriate song but I hope everyone enjoys the final product!
