Hebrew Senior Life #5

            This week I concluded the Hebrew Senior Life project by sending off a wrap up email, and organize the proof of things I did and write up a reflection of everything that went on over the past few weeks.

            In parallel with this, I joined Christina’s Pom-Pom hat project. She was stressed about figuring out how to handle preorders, the late arrival date of her hats, distribution once they arrived, and advertisement. Her Trello board was clear and organized, so as soon as she shared it with me I was able to jump right in.

            We began with writing up a Google form for preorders. We thought through how the distribution of these would work, which helped a lot with crafting the questions necessary. We talked about meet up times and locations, as well as the expected name and contact information. Alua also helped us to create flyers to put up around the school, seeing as we didn’t have an actual image of what the hats would look like.

            When the hats came, Christina went on a hunt to distribute as many of the preorder hats as possible, and I took a few to sell on my own. We posted pictures on snapchat of Christina, Shriya, Alua, and myself all wearing the hats and saying how to contact us if they are interested. We got several responses from this, including one from somebody who doesn’t even go to Brookline High School!

            Despite reaching out to the senior in charge of Habfest and not being able to sell the hats there, the Pom-Pom hats have already made one hundred and fifty dollars and are in high demand, thanks to the long cold winter Boston has given us.
