S.O.S. (Scrub Our School) - Project Proposal

Executive Summary:

Our school is in need of cleaning. Even though there are easily accessible garbage and recycle cans all around the school, people are still littering. Also, since teachers have multiple classes the desks are shared by up to six people. After a week, those desks will get really dirty. We have decided to gather some people to sign up to stay after school and help to clean up the classrooms, hallways, courtyards, and any other areas that need cleaning.

Need

With enough people signed up, we could complete our project in around an hour. We will plan the event for Thursday, January 13. We would need cleaning supplies, such as 409 cleaner, paper towels and trash bags. This project could really benefit our school, the kids who attend it and the staff who work here. Parts of the school that are more commonly touched will be clean, reducing the chances of people getting sick.

Objective:

What we plan to do is clean desks, remove litter from all around the campus and take out teachers' garbage and recycle cans. A list of teachers will be available at a later date. This project will be planned on Thursday, the 13^th of January and is open to any volunteers who want to sign up. We plan for this to go on just an hour after school.

Method:

We have made a sign-up sheet for volunteers. We will be able to complete the project in our planned amount of time if we get enough help. We will be saving teachers time and energy by doing this project. Also, we would be helping students. A cleaner school means less germs and sicknesses, so we can reduce everyone's chances of getting sick. The only problem we could have is not enough people signing up. Then the project may take longer than preferred.

Evaluation:

Our successful project will result in a clean school and happy teachers. After the project is over, we will ask for feedback from all of the teachers we helped. We can use that information to make improvements for next time.

Qualifications:

We will be working in the classroom of the teacher that wants their room to be cleaned. Cleaning supplies--including garbage bags--will be supplied. Anyone is welcomed and encouraged to help out with this projected.

Timetable:

We are preparing for a single day, cleaning the school for about an hour. Cleaning, taking out trash and any requests the teacher may ask the volunteer to do for them will be the only things that will be done. We hope to have people sign up for this project until next Wednesday (January 12). The actual project will take place on January 13.

Budget:

Our only needed materials are cleaning agents, paper towels and garbage bags. Volunteers only need to give up their time.

Conclusion:

We believe this project to be worthwhile because we are benefiting both the staff and the students. If the surfaces that people touch on a daily basis are clean, the chances of people getting sick will be reduced. Again, anyone and everyone is welcomed and encouraged to sign up.
