Attendance

Activity:  Fleece Blankets for Positive Tomorrows and Children's Hospital (if accepted by the Aikman End Zone).  YAC members finished making 3 blankets. There is only one more to finish. It was decided that the last blanket will be finished during the walk-a-thon and sent two of the blanket will go to Children's Hospital Aikman End Zone if accepted by the volunteer coordinator.  Otherwise, all 4 blankets will go to Positive Tomorrows where Ellie will be volunteering during the summer. 

Thank you to Sharun for purchasing the materials.  The Service Learning budget provided $100 for this project which honors the memory Project Warm.  

After the meeting, Sharun volunteered to manpower the YAC booth for the duration of the Walk-A-Thon.  Mrs. Clay has duty elsewhere until 2:30 when she will help Sharun.  If anyone has the time, we will have a sign-up sheet for volunteers and participants at the YAC booth.  We have treats for participants stopping at the YAC booth to decorate placemats, pet and or walk the service dogs.  Donations for the Walk-A-Thon appreciated, but not required for petting or walking the dogs if students have the funding.

The meeting location was changed by the Presidents to the Chapel Transept.  

This was a good idea to make the blankets, but there is a group who prays during Activities there and Father Blizzard needs to be notified.  We will need to contact the praying group to have the movie there or we might ask Dr. Torres to show the movie in his room and help us reflect on what we are watching.  He will be viewing the Pursuit of Happiness for the first time with us.

*Placemats for walkathon, Mrs. Clay will purchase them and walkers will be asked to decorate them.  .5 service hours will be provided per placemat. UPDATE We have a possible 150 to decorate this year.  Mrs. Clay purchased the placemants at Party Galaxy.  The white placemats will be discontinued after this year at Party Galaxy.

Walk Out to Advocate and Serve on Friday, April 20 for #NationalSchoolWalkout & Global Youth Service Day

The #NationalSchoolWalkout coincides with Global Youth Service Day on April 20, 2018. These are two movements supporting young people to find their voice, take action, and have impact. We encourage you to pause the normal school day and find a way to make the #NationalSchoolWalkout and #GYSD a student-led teaching and learning moment. To help you organize an immersive action experience at your school, we put together this toolkit of ideas.
