Hawken Project Blog #3

It is currently Monday May 24th and the fourth day of our Hawken Projects. I feel as if David and I have done so much work already, yet I know so much more lays ahead. Up to this point we have planned everything out and are ready to get to the "doing" part. Early this morning our final spending budget was approved (good news after taking the AP Calc BC exam). Below is a copy of what was on the spreadsheet (without the prices). David and I are super excited to get started on actually assembling the kiosk/aeration system buying the fish from Fenders to stock, and purchasing equipment from both Amazon and Orvis. We really think that the donor, Mr. Eippert, as well as the Hawken faculty will be very proud of our work. We understand that both Mr. Eippert and Headmaster Looney showed great interest in our initiatives. The timeline for purchase/assembly is still to be determined, however I think we will take care of the equipment purchases early this week. It is also our plan to currently pick up the fish from Fenders on Thursday (2 hr drive there and back) pending that they get back to us with an invoice. We also have acquired the materials to build the kiosk and assemble the energy system for the aeration system so we’re excited to start working on that potentially on Friday or early next week. We will also find a time to begin painting the Hawken Fishing Club storage room in the white house. We hope to give it a refreshing new paintjob. Overall, our project has moved more from the planning part to finalizing the invoices and actually beginning to construct/put our plan into action. I believe that both David and I are relieved that the budgeting part of our project is essentially over. It has been a lot of calling and emailing. Big shout out to Mr. Tate and Mr. D for helping out with all of the communication. Looking forward to what we can get done this week!
