Purchasing Our Materials For Our Semester Long Project

On Monday, November the 27th, Mrs. Ponce, three of my other group members and I went to Home Depot after school to purchase the necessary materials for our semester long project. The first material we needed to purchase was the board that we would turn into a chalkboard, for students of St. Francis to write on. We went to the plywood section and found a very large piece of sanded plywood. The piece of sanded plywood, however was too large to fit in any of the vehicles we came in, so we called and arranged for somebody who had a truck to come and pick it up for us. The second material we need to purchase was the chalkboard paint and primer to apply to our board. We did not know what type of paint and primer were ideal for our project, so we got help and direction from a Home Depot employee. The employee at Home Depot was very helpful and guided us to the correct products. After we got our paint and primer we then got the paint brushes needed to apply the paint and primer to our board.

Now that we have all of the necessary materials to start our semester long project we can now start to create our chalkboard and put our plan into action. I cannot wait to bring awareness to the topic of gender equality within the community of St. Francis High School!
