Jump and Jive!!! By Christina Morales

On November 18, Mr. Frazer's second period class had a project called
Big Brothers/Big Sisters. We were to plan a day to do something with
children. The event was planned to take place at Jump and Jive for a
couple of hours just to entertain the little kids and provide them
food and drinks. On that day, we were assigned a kid to play with and
just to enjoy the day with them. All together we as the class provided
donuts, cookies, chips, candy, and soda and other refreshments in case
they got hungry or thirsty. At Jump and Jive, there were all kinds of
things you could play on like slides, tubes, and just an area where you
could jump around. You could also play basketball, football and soccer.
If you weren't jumping around, you were helping the kids get on the
slides or serving them food. The party lasted for at least two hours.
During those hours, we got to know the kids that we were assigned to and
talk to them and just pretty much get to know them while we played and
hung out. When it was over, we were to stay and clean up the mess the
little kids and everyone had made. I think we had a fun experience
hanging out with kids that didn't have anyone to hang out with, and I'm
pretty sure that we will do this again.
