People don’t have a
propensity for laziness.
People have a propensity for
hard work. It just needs to be
work that matters to them.

Missions are
meaningful!
SITUATION: We are surrounded by
fractions. They decide how much
or little we get in life so it’s
important we can figure them out.
MISSION: Take pictures of 10
fractions and create 4 word
problems with these pictures to
give to peers to solve.
SITUATION: The mayor is ridding the city of graffiti
unless he is convinced it is art.
MISSION: Snap photos of graffiti you want to keep
and make a strong argument why it is art.
BADGE: Art Critic

I have yet to find the man … who did not do better work
and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval,
than under a spirit of criticism. - Charles Schwab

Girl Scouts visit Mayor Summey for Girl Scouts Week by North Charleston, Flic.kr/p/kVYxBZ
They mark a certain
achievement ... when
one girl sees a badge on
a sister Scout's arm, if
that girl has won the
same badge, it at once
awakens an interest and
sympathy between them.
