Hello again!
Last Summit class we had, our group discussed SMART goals and the significance of SMART goals. There are five different parts to a SMART goal, which are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. To be a smart goal the goal must have these five different parts and be explained through the goal.
Our SMART goal has to do with the number of times Mariah, Erica, Katie, and I will bell ring before Christmas for the Salvation Army. The SMART goal is to bell ring as a group at least three times for at least two hours each time, sometime before Christmas break. I will make sure to arrange a time preferably on a weekend for us to bell ring together as a group. We will make sure this goal is achieved, because our group wants to help the Salvation Army in every possible way we can. We are aware and know the need of under privileged families, especially during the Christmas Season.
Stay classy Drury University,

Hello there!
In class on Friday, we talked about SMART goals. When talking about SMART goals you must always remember to include specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely in the goal. Each member in our group was assigned a goal that we were supposed to turn into a SMART goal.
My goal deals with our mid-term evaluations. The SMART goal is to organize the plans for our mid-term evaluations. I will make sure that our goal meets the requirements, and is completed for sure by December 9th, but hopefully a week before that. In order to achieve this goal, my group has planned a date to sit down and figure out our exact plans for the presentation and paper for the mid-term evaluation. We are going to try and get it done a week early so that way we are not stressing about it, and also so we will have time to look over it that week before it is due. We are also going to find a time to practice our presentation, so that we are well prepared. This is a goal that must be completed, and I have a good feeling that my group is going to have a thought out and excellent presentation and paper.
Until next time,
Mariah Elizabeth Fulbright
Hello again!
There are numerous things we would like to accomplish during our time with the Salvation Army. My goal is for all four of us to work at the Salvation Army’s Christmas Shop. The shop is provided to parents who cannot afford to buy gifts for their children for Christmas. The parents get to essentially “shop” and pick out toys that they want for their kids. One of our goals is to be able to work directly on this event. Whether it is actually working at the shop and helping parents pick out toys, or setting up for the event, we want to make a direct impact.
It is very important to make sure you have SMART (Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely) goals. Our goal is very specific. We want to be directly involved with this event because we feel it is really special to be able to help parents give their children gifts for Christmas. Whether it is organizing the event, running the event, or collecting items for the event we feel we can be a big help. All of us care about children, so this is a great opportunity.
Our goal is also measurable. We want all four of us to work at the event for at least two hours. This is how we will measure our success. The more time we dedicate the more good we can do. Helping out at the Christmas Shop is also a realistic, attainable goal. It is not something outside of our budget, capabilities, or time-frame. We all can dedicate two hours to a great cause and I know the Salvation Army will take as much help as they can get. Finally our goal is timely. The Christmas season is nearing so it is the perfect time to be involved with the Christmas Shop. We will talk to Audrey Esther, our Community Advisor, by Friday, November 18th to begin making plans for our participation in the event. The event will obviously occur sometime between now and Christmas.
Overall, I am very excited about helping out the Salvation Army with their Christmas Shop. It always feels so good to help out those who are less fortunate, especially during the holidays. If we can put a smile on the deserving parents’ faces, I feel we will have achieved our goal.
Have a great Turkey Day!

The Salvation Army Summit Park group plans on getting at least ten other Summit Park members to take shifts ringing bells for eight hours one day in front of the Battlefield Mall. We want this to be done by the second weekend in December.
We plan on accomplishing this goal by contacting the other Summit Members and seeing who would be interested in helping us out with this project. We would also send out a signup list so we could see who would ring and at what time. We would send out this list after Thanksgiving break so that people would have time to plan and check their schedule. We are really excited about this project and getting everyone involved!
