On Tuesday, the 30th of August, the junior class skipped the whole day of school for Servathon, an annual fundraiser for JSB and, eventually, Senior Sneak. This year, the juniors cleaned up the parks in the Tangung Bungah region.
The junior class split up into many different groups, each going to various parks. Some parks were so big that they needed two groups to help. Within the groups, the juniors partnered up to share the workload.
These students, and their sponsors, had many different jobs during the day. One of the biggest jobs during Servathon was raking leaves. They raked and raked leaves. Yigal Ang (11) was put to the task of raking a large field with many leaves and said, “Leaves never end.” Ang eventually got tired of that job and switched with another junior. He was put to work chipping off the paint of gates and monkey bars and then repainting them.
Many of the juniors who had the job of painting came back with the paint that was meant for the monkey bars and gates on their faces, in the hair, and on their clothes.
Rainbow Chan (11) was one of these people who was painted on. She was supposed to be painting railings and some park benches. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the best experience because she was dehydrated. She warns the future juniors who will do Servathon next year to “get that H2O into your bodies.
Another job at Servathon for the juniors was scrubbing off graffiti on the stone benches at the parks. Similar to with the leaves, they kept scrubbing and scrubbing until they had to leave. To their dismay, they could not get rid of all of the graffiti before they had to pack up. But the Tangung Bungah look a little cleaner after spending some time with these juniors.
