    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Patrick coached Matthew as the class went on, very full and enthusiastic class but was a bit distracted by this new aspect. Also, Amy from the Lent’s Green Ring came in and discussed the walking even this Sunday, the class was very engaged and we used maps and fliers, and the class really understood the event and had a high interest in attending. With all the shake-ups in this class and for how packed it was, it went very well and the students had great discussions about the event and a strong understanding.
