Google Twenty Percent
2017
Another year that I get to work on 20% time, so exciting!! We again get to improve our high school boys football locker room. Our boys have done great in football this year and we as a community are so very proud of them! We are in the process of getting banners(booster club and fundraising.) We are also finishing up a wall painting. We are also printing quotes and putting them in picture frames and mounting them to the wall.

What is Google 20% time?
At Norway High school we are allowed every Friday through out the year to work on something of our choosing. this time is given for us to think outside of what we normally do in the classroom. (Ex.book work, homework, reading) This project is to learn how to pick a project that we are interested in and to learn have a deadline and meet it. this helps you to learn discipline, team work, and knowledge.

My 20% Time |
Steps |
The twenty time that I choose was to paint the boys varsity football locker room. We have seen this done to many other locker rooms and it was a really cool and inspiring idea. We are doing a pattern with bricks walking in, and then will move onto painting inspirational quotes. The coaches of the football team all got to pick a quote of there choosing,(Some chose lists of team skills). I am working on this with a classmate an friend Jada Lasater.

There were many steps that Jada and I had to do.
-First, we had a hard time compromising on the idea of how we both wanted the locker room to look. -Second, we had to get supplies(paint, brushes,etc.) To get these supplies, we had to have money. The school so generously covered the costs of the paints that were bought from Lohlfoms. -Third, we had to start painting. We started in the entrance way, going every other brick a different color(see pictures below). this took us a while because we had to be precise in our colors and lines. -Fourth, we are beginning to start the drawing of the quotes and letters for our Norway Knights Football on the top of the wall and through out the locker room. |
GoalsJada's and my goals are to be able to get this done by the end of the school year. We plan to make our boys locker room a place of inspirational quotes and excitement for our upcoming varsity boys and for the years the come. We have made so much progress so far and will continue to work on this every friday throughout the year!

Time SpentWe spent our time in the varsity boys locker room painting, as well as in the classroom creating the layout for our paintings. We also had to drive and pick out paint and gather materials for this project. We talked to teachers about their quotes and what they wanted in their locker room. We have also talked to the principal and custodial staff about how the project all look after its completion date.
