Site Council Meeting

1. Site Council Survey was reviewed

c. Language of the questions may have been too difficult for some students.

e. Debate on fluorescent lights.

f. And if teachers go out for x minutes, should they turn off their lights?

i. Turning lights on and off reduces their lifespan.

ii. Should we have lights with sensors? (Turn on when they sense someone in the room.)

Food Drive

1. Linda Lenoir, the District nurse who asked us to help out, requested that we extended the food drive to next week.

2. We want to stick with our original plan of making it a small thing, so we'll just announce it everyday this week and on Monday next week.

3. It may be better for her to do a pickup this Friday and next Friday because the donation bin is overflowing.

GreenCitizen

1. Amanda and her mom made a new flyer for GreenCitizen and they emailed it to Addison.

a. Could email to the Community Kiosk—deadline is today at 5pm. Chloe will try to get it in.

2. An idea--Have GreenCitizen donation boxes around our school for the rest of the year. It would be Student Council's responsibility to empty it.

3. Could also pass out flyers around our neighborhood for more publicity.

4. Maryssa & Britta have pretty much finished their segment for GreenCitizen. They will finalize it next Tuesday and burn it on a disc for Student Council.
