Meeting of 12-7-07
Hi everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the weekend!
***Thank you to the Willow Lane family fun night volunteers who helped out with that event on this past Friday night. Thanks to all the Parkview Carnival volunteers on this past Friday night. Also, thanks to the volunteers who babysit children for the Holida Bureau Program.
***Help is needed for Casa de Esparanza this Wednesday after school in Dahle's room. You will be packing things together, shopping, etc.
***Ms. Newberg just got back from Jamaica! She "scouted" for some possible future trips for the Ambassadors Interact Club...St. Michaels (a primary school there) needed some help teaching kids, playing with them...etc. and also if they could get a medical team to go down there for a week or two...just ideas for the future. So welcome back Ms. Newberg!
***For this Friday's Holiday Dance, Jessie and Ellie are in charge of the drive for hats, mittens, and new toys for the flood victims of MN. Please contact them if you are interested in helping, otherwise, bring something (hats, mittens, new toys...) to the informal holiday dance this friday and get a discount price!
***Dinner with Santa is on the 17th in St. Cloud and on the 18th in WBL (the Country Inn by Rudy's Red Eye Grill and McDonalds). You would be talking with the elderly and serving food...dressed up at Mrs. Claus or an elf! So talk to Michelle for more details. If you don't have a costume we can get you one!
*** After school this Monday Student Council and Ambassadors will be painting another coat of paint around the pilars in the lunch room. Show up if you are interested!
***We voted on shirts and the results will be in next meeting!
***Nick is in charge of putting together a South Campus Ambassadors brochure for North Campus...basically what we do and what we are about. Talk to him if you have any cool ideas!
***Executive Leadership Committee (ELC) met this past Wednesday..it's a group that involves Student Council, Ambassadors, and NHS. We are thinking about kicking off a recycling project...starting with pop cans! Each group would take a week to go around to every room after school and collect pop cans. More information will be announced later!
***Talk to Samantha if you are interested in bell ringing on the 15th or 22nd at the Vadnais Heights Festival from 4-8 or 5-8.
