Volunteering at Kildeer Elementary

On Friday I volunteered at Kildeer Elementary. It was from 5-9PM. This was my first time volunteering so I didn't really know what I was to do. Kildeer was having a Bingo and auctioning night. I helped set the tables and was later stationed at the prize table. I helped set the tables and after that I helped in the cafeteria. I served people pizza, chopped salad, water, and ice cream. It was a bit nerve-wracking for me because I was afraid if I might give the wrong kind of pizza. I also had to collect their tickets so I was so always moving back and forth serving. Although it was tiring I thought it was a good exercise. After the cafeteria duty, I went to my stationed prize table. It was in the large gym of the school. Anyone who got Bingo was to come up to the prize table and receive a prize. There were pencils, notepads, airplanes, erasers, wristbands, necklaces, coloring books, etc. It was very fun and interesting. A lot of the families came and played and enjoyed their night. I was surprised that even the little elementary kids were helping out. Majority of the high school students that volunteered were from my school. I even found out that one of the girls lived in my neighborhood. One of the supervisor's appreciated us volunteering that she asked for our contact numbers so next time she can personally ask for us. I enjoyed my Friday night helping out. It was better than going home and doing nothing.
