This week, I am continuing to work on the charity regatta social media campaign. The idea around the campaign was for our boat to make its way around Bridgeway, but viewers need to guess the location of the boat. Every week, there will be a riddle that is posted to our social media that hints at the location of the boat. Viewers would need to guess the riddle in order to figure out the location of the boat. For each person with a correct guess, that person will receive a ticket for a raffle prize. This week, I posted a riddle that would hint people to guess that the boat is with our Bridgeway facilities team. This lead to us getting more engagement on social media because more people are commenting in order to guess the location. However, our amount of donations have been stagnant so I am hoping that it leads to more people donating later during the month.

I am also continuing to work on my photojournalism project. So far, I have been able to shadow the crisis stabilization team. I was able to shadow a couple of team members during some sessions. My favorite session was aimed at reinforcing the behavior of stopping when someone yells “stop.” Some students experience a behavior that leads to them running to places where they are not supposed to go. During this session, staff ran along with a student within the school and practiced stopping with the student when one of the staff said “stop.” I ran along with the staff and was able to take photos of this session. Though it was challenging, I felt like the staff made the session fun for everyone involved. It was one of the most unique moments I had during my time at Bridgeway, and I also had a blast going along with this session. As I was taking pictures, however, I realized that the pictures are not able to incorporate the dialogues that are just as important as the imagery. So, I am going to try to include sounds from the moments that I capture into the project as well so that viewers can both see and hear the bonds that staff have with their students.
