May 8, 2015

Operation G.O.O.D. Service Project Time: 8:45 until 11:40am

Grade Levels: Kindergarten through 8th Grade

Operation G.O.O.D. is a “serve-a-thon”, much like the fundraising walk-a-thons that other organizations do. Heritage Christian School students acquire friends, family, and neighbors to sponsor them during a 2 hour service project. The last several years, students have partnered with the Army Corp of Engineers doing work around the Coralville Reservoir. This has been a very successful fundraising event that usually nets $20,000+ in revenue for the school.

FAQs:

What do I do with envelopes and money that a child collects?

All Operation GOOD envelopes containing money should be turned in to the homeroom teacher or the school office. Please make sure envelope forms are filled out and the right amount of money is in the envelope. Sponsorships can be in the form of cash or check (made out to Heritage Christian School). Pledges are not accepted during Operation GOOD.

What does this day’s schedule look like?
From 8:25 to 8:45am, students should be with homeroom teachers.
At 8:45, students will assemble in the gymnasium where they will be assigned to chaperon drivers. The
students do not get to pick who they will ride with.
9:10-11:30am – Students will work at designated sites.
11:30am-3:00pm – NO HOT LUNCH WILL BE SERVED THIS DAY. If the school goal is met, there will
be an all school celebration which will include lunch. If the school goal is NOT met, students will need
to bring a cold lunch and the afternoon will be committed to academic activities. Whether they have met
the goal will be known prior to that day and that information will be in the newsletter.

How should my child dress?

Wear clothes that can be worked in, gotten dirty, sweaty, and stinky. It is also prudent to wear boots or tennis shoes (flip flops and sandals are NOT recommended). Gloves are important, too. Students may bring a change of clothes for “after work”. Keep an eye on the weather. If the forecast holds a chance of rain, ponchos or rain gear is recommended.

How is transportation organized and who transports children to the work sites?
Parents volunteer to provide transportation which is coordinated by the chairperson of Operation G.O.O.D. The chairperson also organizes who is transported in each vehicle and which work site each group is going to. Students MAY NOT change their assignment without expressed permission by the chairperson and BOTH chaperones.
