FEDEX TIME / STRATEGIC PLANNING EXPERIENCE
What is Daniel Pink's FEDEX time? A short period of time to focus on innovation
What is Strategic Planning? Road map of where we want to go over a period of time and how to get there
History of Casady YAC FEDEX:
In the first Fedex, YAC reflected, chose a theme, discussed possible officers, and developed a calendar from August 2014- January. 2015 Minutes here.
In the second FEDEX, Mr. Evan Walter, helped YAC reflect on why YAC. Then YAC made a calendar from February to May 2014 focusing on the Why.
YAC also developed initial guidelines for officers. Minutes of meeting here. Recommended video: Simon Sinek, How Great Leaders Inspire Action http://www.ted.com/

What StuCo?
Our Student Councilʼs goal is to make every day student life at Casady the best that it can be, and to encourage Casady students to rally behind and help fellow students with their unique endeavors.
Why StuCo?
Our student body is filled with bright minds filled with unique passions, ideas, and causes. Whether we are encouraging students to pack the gym to cheer on their classmates, or spreading enthusiasm for the many different organizationʼs fundraisers throughout the year, we want every student to have all the support they can get to make success possible. We realize that with such a small upper division student body, it is more difficult to raise a significant amount money for charities or to put on a large scale successful event. This is why student council takes the ideas or causes of one student or one organization, and then reaches out to the whole student body to get them involved.
How StuCO?
Student Council works in two ways. The first is through our own events.
Throughout the year we put on 2-4 pep rallies to gain support for our athletic teams.
Playing in the SPC, too often Cyclones teams play at the same time or play their games in Texas, to the point that many of our teams do not get a lot of fan support during their games. Pep Rallies are a way to show our support, and encourage the student body to come to as many games as they can. Traditionally, we have also always hosted one big fundraiser at some point in the year, or raise money through smaller events throughout the year to add up to donate to one cause. Student Council also facilitates the many miscellaneous events throughout the year such as: Graduation, Freshman Orientation, 8th grade visitation days. We work with the administration to give a studentʼs perspective on how to make these hectic days operate smoothly, and then help to do just that on the day of the event. The second is through promoting other studentʼs ideas whether this be through talking to the administration to give incentives such as extra off campuses or out of uniform days, announcing and promoting causes in chapel, or seeing that studentʼs who offer ideas to student council get their ideas discussed, and hopefully accomplished.
Next year, I would like to see our Student Council do a few things better.
1. Donʼt meet at 7:00am, there is not enough contribution from underclassmen because
they are too sleepy.
2. Get a calendar and fill out everything that StuCo wants to accomplish on the calendar
AT the StuCo lock in during the summer. Give temporary dates, but do assign dates to have a rough idea of when things will happen. Our biggest mistake this year was planning things last minute and having to cram work in last minute.
3. Have small fundraising events like bake sales or simple things of that nature leading up to the walk a thon. The small event tally up.
4. Reach out to Chipotle or Canes for a fundraiser where a certain amount of profit that they make goes to our fundraiser, ask for this day to be on a day when we have an all grade off campus so that lots of people can go there.
5. More pep rallies. (Winter & Spring)
6. Have StuCo meetings with your grade once every couple weeks or monthly, this is a good way to take ideas from the student body that they would like to see happen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The below brainstorming will be taken to the governing board when they are set. Buthiana requested Casady STUCO to consider having a gathering of STUCO's at sometime during the year to get ideas from each other. The STUCO's at colleges and universities are also a resource. At the National level there is the National Association of STUCO's.
For YAC, many non-profits in OKC have service boards. The faith-based organizations have service embedded in their outreach activities. At the National Level, YAC has NYLC YAC, YSA YAC, State Farm YAB
Every activity done has to relate to the why. Agendas need to be set in advance with thoughtful preparation. The calendar should be set at the end of the school year when what has been done is still fresh. The calendar has to remain flexible due to the opportunities the year brings. Connections to the different resources (CPO, Buster, Art Alliance, Development, Marketing, Service-Learning Offices) were encouraged

From Aubrey, YAC PRESIDENT 2015-2016
1. What
is our theme going to be? We have the above brainstorming, but no decisions were taken because only Dylan represented next year's leadership at the meeting.
2.
What months are each grade going to take over to do their
projects? Who is going to take charge of the projects and what will they
be? This has to be handle at a planning meeting at the end of May after exams are over. We did not have a forum of participants to make this decision
3.
How can we continue Ananya's bookmark project? Name, phone
number, and email of sponsor?
Bodine Elementary connection will be made when we deliver the books. The program with Britton elementary needs to be explored independent of Bronco Boom from UCO if we re interested in continuining. The bookmark project is a global initiative with information located at
