Notes from the Meeting- November 19, 2010

There is an Alternative Gift Fair, on December 4th. There is set up on December 3rd, and working at it is on the 4th. Talk to Ms. Porcheddu-Ion (her room is in the upstairs B wing) if you are interested.

Also, the can drive is coming up. For our drive happening over the weekend at our grocery stores. We made posters for each drive. They need to say "Donate a Can" "DeWitt Middle School Can Drive" "Biggest donator in the county" "DONATE A CAN", etc. Make sure they understand that they just need to buy a can while they're in, and just drop it off on their way out. DONATE A CAN. People, we also need more cans per homebase. Seriously, dude, we don't have enough. I know my homebase utterly fails. If you are below 100 cans, you should go out and by some more. Danke sehr. That's German, for thank you very much. Mr. Kaltman is giving a reward to every homebase that gets over 200 cans! You know you want some donuts!

WE think that Mr. Snell's homebase is number one, but we need an exact count for each homebase. Mr. Kaltman needs volunteers during 4,5, and 6th period on Monday. Go find Mr. Kaltman if you would like to help.

NEXT MEETING: After Thanksgiving, on Friday December 3rd.

11.10.10- Notes from the meeting

Attendance taken. Where are all the homebase representatives?!?! We aren't having a meeting this friday, so don't come then. If you didn't know there was a meeting today, you should've checked the board, or here, on the last post.

Today in Student Council we talked about the can drive. We are going to go around to the classrooms today, during homebase, and count the cans that each homebase has. 

THIS WEEKEND, we are planning on doing something on Saturday in the P&C on Ellis Hollow Road. There was a sheet passed around, and if you were interested in doing this next Saturday, you should've put your name and your phone number on the sheet of paper so that Anna or Garrett can call you with more details.

One of the most important things going on is the can drive. We need to figure out a way to get people more excited about bringing cans.

After that, we talked about campaign promises. People promised they would try to do things like get stalls in the bathrooms, or get more field trips. These are things that we should try to fulfill. 

THE NEXT MEETING IS NEXT FRIDAY. NOT TWO DAYS FROM NOW. A WEEK AND TWO DAYS FROM NOW. Thank you :)

11.3.10 Meeting

We are selling only bottles and bracelets so far- we're going to buy bags when we have more money.

Can Drive- We should probably set up stations at Wegman's and P&C.

The PTA want to cover the story on their website. The can drive, student council, etc. The can drive has been going on for 30 years and we're the single biggest contributor to the salvation army. It's student council's job to be the "cheerleaders" of this event- and keep everyone riled up and wanting to contribute. We want to go for 4500. The most we got ever was 8000.
Student Council will stay behind and help load the trucks (after the can ceremony.)

If you are looking for a way to donate cans to the salvation army, you can go door to door, you can bring stuff from home, and you could buy tons and tons of cans from grocery stores. As long as you win! Or the school does...



Next meeting: next WEDNESDAY. Everyone, not just officers.
