The Cleaning

Okey, so we got in there!
We went to our future IB-room. We had the equipment, cleaning supplies, old clothes and masks put on and a lot of good intentions. We had spent there about 4h and I feel like nothing had changed. There was a teribble mess. We were sweeping the floor and cleaning the walls about bilion times. During the first Saturday we have been there we did nearly nothing, I mean it was hardly noticeable because of the dirt that had accumulated through a few years when it was unused. 
We went there three more times and I hope that we drive to the end. We depictured the walls, fixed broken chairs, organized all furnitured there and cleaned the room perfectly. I want to belive that we need only one more weekend to end up this thing, because it is so exhausting, but I am not sure.

IB Fund-raiser



The first action in this school year!
Together with my class we would like to renovate one room in our school. This is kind of place where we will be able to spend our gaps between lessons. This room is quite important for all of us, because we have a lot of gaps through the whole week. We named this place IB-room. This is very important issue for us. We have a lot of work ahead of us because the room is in a poor conditions. What we need at the begining is money. It's quite unpleasant that everything revolves around the money, but without them we won't be able to do the renovation. We decided to the the cakes bazaar. A few people from our class baked some cakes (I was one of them) and we were selling them to other people in our school (including teachers). Through the whole day we had collected about 200zł. It wasn't an awful lot but enough for our current expenses. We had so many delicious cakes that we had to hold back to not eat them all. As I am the class treasurer  it was my job to buy the equipment for the renovation. So after the bazaar i went to the shop and bought cleaning equipment.
