It's Lynica McClellan and I'm in LEAP 2. Recently we had a CAP fair and it went really well. I achieved and accomplished so much this year. We wanted to educate the next youth about green practices in their community.


I enjoyed this CAP so much. We did many activities including; games, obstacle course, gardening, & a nature walk. Each of these activities taught the kids something new. We showed the kids how to have fun with out harming the environment. For lunch the kids had fruits & vegetables, granola bars and grilled hamburgers & hot dogs. We also wanted to show the kids that healthy food can be really good & tasty.


I felt really excited & confident about our CAP until the unexpected happened, elementary kids came along with the middle school kids. I was nervous about what they were going to think and if they would understand my lesson. to my surprise they understood it well and they enjoyed it. I had many challenges such as kids who didn't want to participate and were overly enthusiastic about this but with the help of others I overcame it.


Getting our CAP together was fun and stressful. We had to worry about our budget, if everyone was going to make it, and if everyone could successfully present their lesson. Thankfully LEAP 2 came together and made a beautiful CAP fair.


All together the CAP was beautiful and I know the kids learned a lot from it and so did I.
