Blog Question: Does your CP participate in political campaigns or take public stands on campaigns or candidates? Why or why not?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Before I answer the blog question I would like to give an update on my CP project.I was exchanging emails with the librarian about volunteering at the library, but she never responded back to my emails for about 6 days. I assumed it was over because she did not want to work with my hectic schedule. So I had to turn to plan b. I contacted Allen Elementary School and emailed the principal, Kit Cosgriff. Within a day I got an email response back saying she would be delighted to help. That same day the library worker contacted me and asked me to come in next Tuesday 2/2/15 to take a fingerprinting test and talk about scheduling. So I still did not get the library volunteer opportunity yet. Next Tuesday I am going to meet the librarian and the principal, at different times of course, and make my decision that will best fit my schedule. So this feels very crazy, but it is very interesting because two similar but different places have unique relationships with citizens different perspectives on federal/state policies. I can't wait until Tuesday!

Ok, I made my decision!! I will volunteer at Allen Elementary School in San Bruno. This school offers an academic enrichment program called ASES(After School Education & Safety Program). My Community partner is the school district and the city council. The person that will guide me through this opportunity is Kit Cosgriff, the principal of Allen school. My volunteer hours will come in the week of March 9-13. More details to come. Quick info on what ASES means.

Alright time to answer the blog questions. First off my CP, Mrs. Cosgriff, takes a stand on campaigns and candidates because she is an adult who would like to see more grants be given out to schools. It is a big responsibilty to ensure that the city council and the school district take a public stand that benefit the students.
