Suggested Agenda 1. Items form the floor- What is in the mind of YAC members that need to be addressed? 2. YAC connections to Reverend Mother Tutu Visit -Miss Smith moderator of questions - I know Reverend Mother Tutu has been working with her dad on Forgiveness. I am going to be learning about her work from your feedback and her visit. -Her Father's work is the inspiration of Peace Week at Casady School. He is one of the founders of We, The World, 11 Days of Global Unity (9/11-9/21 International Day of Peace). -Love Katherine's idea to call this neek, Peace Day Week next year. This new name was provided by the Shinnoyen Foundation on an article they wrote about Casady's Peace Day Week 2017. Check this out http://www.tutufoundationusa.org/peace3-2/

YAC worked on the Valentine's Day lolipop idea. They put together baskets and note cards for folks to fill out and hand to their friends. Ms. Smith will get dum dums at the store today. The ladies decided who would be in charge of placing each basket where each class can access them tomorrow morning after chapel.
Special Civil Rights Speaker: Reverend Mother Naomi Tutu visits Casady, February 23, 2018. Miss Smith will moderate questions. YAC members met and volunteer with her father and Mother Tutu at a couple of National Service Learning Conference. Her father is one of the founders of WE, THE WOLD, 11 Days of Global Unity which Casady calls Peace Week since 2012. Next year the week will be called Peace Day Week as stated in the article written by the Shinnyo-en Foundation about Casady's Peace Day Week
Suggested Agenda
1. Happy Random Acts of Kindness Week
Celebrate #RAKWeek2018 (February 11-17, 2018) by telling about the one person who inspires you to be a better human being!
Was it a teacher who saw something in you when no one else did?
Is it a neighbor who mowed your lawn when you were sick?
What about a family member who always encouraged you to do your best?
Maybe it was your friend who comforted you during a difficult time in your life?
