All Campus Work Day - A CRMS Tradition

After scrambling out of bed at 8:00 on a Saturday morning, all of us students found ourselves being divided up into groups of both familiar and unfamiliar faces. Once in our groups we all learned about the work we would be doing that day. All of it would take place on campus and most of it would be extremely tedious work – some groups had to move every rock out of the pits in front of the jossman, lay a tarp down and then put the rocks back. Many students grunted in annoyance at the thought of the work ahead but despite this I found myself proud of their efforts to work to their best abilities without complaint. By 12:00 in the afternoon, all the groups had mostly finished their work with a smile on their faces and a pat on the back. For the next hour you would hear about all of the tasks groups had done as students spoke proudly about their hard day’s work realizing that, that day was going to be similar to the school year; school will certainly come as a challenge but in the end our hard will bring us all pride, especially as a community.
