  1. Parents in Charge of 8th grade promotion party have not accepted the $500 we decided to give them. Instead, they will pay for it and we will use the $500 on our school. Because of this, we do not need to do another fundraiser.
  2. Fundraiser: maybe we could have a fundraiser where we could sell stuff to students instead of parents and other adults
  3. Conferences: We have $300 in our conference budget to use to go to conferences. If we were to go somewhere out of the city, it is pretty expensive. There is a San Jose Conference on February 20th.
  4. Advisory: Mrs. Sano has to push out her advisory every time we have a meeting, so the school is suggesting that they split up her kids into different advisories and the Student Council members become her advisory..
  5. Environmental Team: instead of elections, maybe we could have each person willing to apply to submit information on a form we will make. We are going to go on JTV, create a new date for the informational meeting, and then have everyone submit forms. We can attach a teacher recommendation a form to fill out also. The environmental team can then decide if they need to break the vote.

Vote: Should we have forms to submit for the election

Result: All think we should have forms.

  1. Mrs. Pearson: New Principal comes for a visit . Each person introduced themselves to her.
  2. What we have to do for the rest of the year:
  1. Green citizen
  2. Environmental team
  3. Advisory representatives elections

Vote: Should we do advisory representative elections and just get input from people in the student council box

Result: All would like to have a box instead of elections.

  1. Second Semester Club Sign-Ups
  2. ODFL fundraiser
  1. Homework: Think about a vision for the futures student council. We need to take into account the timeframe. How can you get students more involved with student council?

Meeting End: 1:19
