October Event – Halloween Photobooth

Event Date: October 31st

 

Event Participation:
For the Halloween Photobooth, I was involved in every stage of the event, from planning to cleanup. I worked closely with my group members to come up with ideas for the decorations and help set up the booth. Morgan, our point person did an amazing job leading the team and making sure everything ran smoothly. We made sure the photo booth was decorated with fun items like paper spiders and balloons. On the day of the event, I helped with the setup, took photos for students, and handed out candy after their pictures. I also stayed after the event to help clean up and put everything back in order. My role in the event taught me a lot about working together and being responsible for different tasks.

 

Curricular Competency:
I demonstrated and identified individual accountability while working within a team
This competency connects to my leadership goals.

• Creating a Positive Team Environment: I wanted to make sure everyone felt included in our planning and that everyone’s ideas were heard.
• Improving Listening Skills: I made an effort to really listen to my teammates during our meetings. This helped me understand their ideas and made our planning sessions more effective.
• Prioritizing Responsibilities: When I missed one lunch meeting because I had a UNICEF Club fundraiser, I realized I need to prioritize my leadership duties better. I learned that I should have made time for the team meeting since this course is a priority for me.

Actions Taken:

• Before the Event: I took part in planning meetings and shared my ideas for decorations. I helped with preparing spider decorations and rehearsed before the day. After missing a meeting, I reached out to my teammates to catch up and stayed updated on the plans.
• During the Event: I arrived early to help set up the photo booth. I helped arrange the decorations and got the booth ready for students. As the event went on, I took photos for students, handed out candy, and made sure the event flowed smoothly.
• After the Event: Once the event was over, I helped clean up and make sure everything was put back in its place. This made me realize the importance of finishing what you start and being responsible for the event.

Evidence:

Example 1: I helped decorate the photo booth by putting up paper spiders and balloons. This made the booth look fun and gave it a Halloween vibe.

This shows my involvement in the planning and setup of the event. I helped create an inviting and festive environment for everyone to enjoy.

Example 2: During the event, I took photos for students, managed the line, and handed out candy. I made sure everyone had a good time and kept the booth organized.

This example shows that I took on a leadership role during the event by helping students and keeping everything running smoothly.

Example 3: After the event, I stayed to help clean up the area. I worked with the team to take down the decorations and make sure everything was packed away properly.

By helping with the cleanup, I showed my commitment to the event and ensured that we finished everything as a team.
