Meeting- December 10th

We're still looking for things to do this winter.


On December 23 we are giving out candy to the school.


Every homebase is also going to make a snowflake or snowman (winter theme, not holiday) to hang on the tree in the 7th and 8th grade Science Hallway. This is a paper maple, so it won't be like a christmas tree or even a holiday tree, just a normal tree dressed up for winter.

We are collecting toys, dolls, stuffed animals, etc. to donate to a hospital for kids with cancer such as St.Jude's and other places. We will be collecting from now until December 22nd.

We will also be giving candy out on December 23rd.

Meeting- December 4th

We need to do something for the wintery holidays.

People seem to not be able to get the idea of "Christmas" out of their mind. There are more religions than Christianity, and turning something from a "Christmas Tree" to a "Winter Tree" doesn't make that much of a difference.

Well, as long as it isn't a Christmas tree in the first place. One of the ideas was to decorate the tree already up (in the 7th+8th grade hallway) in a wintery fashion. This was also decided to be too religious.

Winter Party
Snowflake Day
Candy Canes
Dreidel Competition
Winter Tree
New Years Party
Winter Solstice
Winter Cookies
Gingerbread houses
Snowmen Decorating
Apple Cider brought to homebase
Fudge
Hot Cocoa
Snow Games/ Festival

Those are the ideas we came up with at the meeting. We are going to talk about more options, and what we're going to do, at the next meeting.

Remember, we aren't allowed to give or sell food, because it competes with the cafeteria. Giving away hot chocolate in the morning is on the verge of not allowed. Selling cookies, or fudge, or cocoa at LUNCH, directly cheats the school of money without us even realizing it.

We'll vote next time, and decide what we want to do for our winter events.
