MLK Day Activity: Casady Green School
Christina Stallings will be the facilitator of the Challenge 20/20 Green Team Yes training on MLK Day. So far we have two students and one teacher expected to attend: Salman H (leader of the project), Cathy Z (doing energy audits for her science project in the MD) and as the Casady supervisor of the training, Mr. Mark Delgrosso. It should be a small manageable group working on carbon footprint with Christina in the morning. The team will work with Les in the afternoon. They will use the energy audit tool kits provided by the Oklahoma Green Schools Committee to audit at least my office and the community center. Decide who will start advertising the MLK Day activities Monday during chapel announcements and how.. Salman needs to finalize this. We will open it to Green team, YAC interested members Kathie Z. and friends from the middle school as a first priority. Then is first come, first served. Must register at Sweatmoney to get credit hours.
YAC FEDEX TIME, MLK DAY
Joan Korenblit, CEO of the Respect Diversity Foundation will be the adult supervisor for the first two hours. I left food, MLK Day Schedule and calendar to be filled by you at the Community Center. At 10:00 a.m. I am going to Sasha Bully’s grandmother’s funeral at John Ireland Funeral Home in Moore, 120 S Broadway St, Moore, OK 73160. I could not re-schedule the FEDEX time because this is a calendar planning meeting for 2011. I expect three students to attend: Caitlin A, Christine L and Sody G. I should to be back with the group at 11:30. Thank you Mrs. Korenblit! The Class Meetings were brainstormed under her guidance. Thank you for volunteering to help with one class meeting focusing on Haiku poetry.
NEW!NEW! YAC CLASS MEETING TIME- Your opportunity for Servant leadership!!!!
Please plan your interaction with freshmen and sophomores through Class meetings. The first class meeting on Tuesday, I have a webinar for all classes with Sweatmonkey.http://www.sweatmonkey.org/. I have been working with Mr. Jim Bonfiglio on setting this for the service-learning website. This will empower students to certify hours and keep an ongoing service/giving resume/portfolio of their giving back to the community activities.
I also will need another Class meeting for a very special guest, Pat Web will lead a workshop during a class meeting, Date: TBA at Pat’s convenience on mindfulness.http://www.respectdiversity.org/page/page/586134.htm. I have requested a total of 6 class meetings. If you need more, we need to request them from pertinent administrators.
A-day freshmen/sophomore YAC class meeting series (6 meetings requested, if more needed, YAC members need to talk to pertinent administrators) start 1/4/11 (ideas)
Class Meetings what and why
Sweatmonkey setup: Planning service, reporting hours, certifying hours made easier. Online 24/7 service record/portfolio/file/resume
YAC re-introduction: YAC has not had a chance to meet the freshmen and explain what they do and want to do for the rest of the year. After the meeting the idea of providing site visits to Boys and Girls Club, Special Care, Johnson and Britton Elementary was discussed with YAC 2005 chairs.
Pat Webb Workshop: This workshop will help us see the value on slowing down, and listening! Mindfulness and New Diplomacy workshop. Freshmen had Mrs. Webb as an English teacher and there should be a buy in from the class, at least according to Christine.
Mrs. Joan Korenblit Haiku and Mural Workshop (April 4): Stuco used this poetry at their latest fundraiser. Classes could make a mural to be entered at the next Respect Diversity Foundation Exhibit advocating respect for diversity, random acts of kindness, peace and love for our environment.
More snacks for Boys and Girls club: Action service opportunity during school day for the whole school. Mayb in combination with a family service afternoon during National Volunteer Service Week.
Relay for Life (make Sweatmonkey page); Emily might need this time to give information and details. We think she has already done her recuiting.
Walk the World (make Sweatmonkey page): Christine might need this time to give information and details as well as recruit walkers
Fundraising for Habitat for Humanity(make Sweatmonkey page): STUCO might want a day to talk about their fundraiser efforts and maybe brainstorm with the entire student body regarding fundraising ideas and/or inform their plan of action.
Casady Buildings being used on MLK Day:
We expect the following buildings to be used on January 17th: Woods, Student Center and Library. Woods for Casady Green School, Student Center: 10:00 a.m. –12:00: Food Bank making healthy treats for Boys and Girls Club with me as the supervisor and possible attendance of the Healthy Eating Club. We need a YAC Youth facilitator for this. Mike is considering opening the snack bar depending on sign-up numbers for MLK Day at Casady. Library: Time TBA I have two ladies checking schedules, one of them is the author of the book, If, see attached bio. Another is the CEO of the YWCA. Both are considering offering a workshop on reading and mural making. If they are unable, I will provide a workshop and mural making on Teens for Human Rights. There will a book/films/YOUTUBE and mural making opportunity at the library, regardless. The two teachers who have expressed interest in helping the library activity are Mrs. Johnson and Miss Pargeter. The Student Center and Library activities will be opened to the Casady community on a come and go basis. The kids will advertise it as family volunteering for teens and children younger than 16 years old. We need a YACyouth facilitator for this. After the FEDEX meeting we decided to explore having a movie or you tube videos at LEE..Must check copyright laws with Mrs. Johnson, facilitator: Devin, and Mrs. Pargeter. We also need to check with Mike regarding food (lunch and snacks and drinks) availability.
The 16+ year olds have the opportunity to frame the Habitat house that STUCO started to fundraise for before the break. The house is located in the Crossing Addition south of Britton and Kelly. The students will be supervised by coaches and transportation will be provided by coaches too.
Please make flyers and sign-up sheets for each one of the activities and for the chapel speakers.

Author of 'Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes,' Dies at 88
Eleanor Coerr, whose Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes (Puffin, 1977) introduced children to the true story of a Japanese girl who suffered from the effects of an atomic bomb attack, died November 22. She was 88.
Eleanor Coerr has died at 88.
The inspiring book follows Sadako Sasaki, who was two-years-old when the United States dropped an atom bomb on Hiroshima during the final stages of World War II in 1945. It chronicles Sasaki as a healthy schoolgirl winning relay races, through her diagnosis with leukemia, and her long stay in the hospital. She died a decade after the attack at the age of 12.
While in the hospital, Sasaki began making origami cranes to pass the time. Her ultimate goal was to make 1,000, but, according to the book, she died with only 644 completed. Sasaki's classmates finished making the remaining cranes, and all 1,000 were placed at her grave.
Sasaki's classmates started a national campaign to build a peace statue to remember her and the many other children who were victims of the Hiroshima bombing. To help raise money, they sold copies of a photocopied and staple-bound autobiography of Sasaki called Kokeshi. To this day, the statue of Sasaki, erected in 1955, is decorated with thousands of paper cranes given by people from all over the world.
Coerr learned of the story while living in Japan after the war and visiting Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park. A missionary friend who had a copy of Sasaki's autobiography encouraged Coerr to write about the girl, who is sometimes referred to as the Anne Frank of Hiroshima.
American school children learned about Sasaki through the 1977 publication of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, and teachers quickly incorporated the book into lessons about the horrors of war and the art of origami. The book has been translated into many languages and each year on August 6, Peace Day, thousands of paper cranes made by children from numerous countries are placed at Sasaki's statue.
"This slim book of 80 pages, written in very simple language, presents [Sasaki's] heart-wrenching story," said literary critic Anita Silvey on October 25, the 55th anniversary of Sasaki's death. "A three-handkerchief story, it will always work for those readers who request a sad book. It even ends with the line, 'She never woke up.' By showing the effect of a war on the life of a vibrant and attractive child, Eleanor Coerr wrote a powerful book that advocates for peace."
Coerr was born in 1922 in Kamsack, Saskatchewan, Canada, and grew up in Saskatoon. She began her professional life as a newspaper reporter and editor of a column for children. She also wrote The Big Balloon Race (HarperCollins, 1984) and Mieko and the Fifth Treasure (Penguin, 1993).
In May of this year, Coerr attended a ceremony at New York's Tribute World Trade Center Visitor Center, where Sasaki's brother presented one of the original cranes folded by his sister.

MLK Day proposal was taken to STUCO by Caitlin and Nicole to help fundraise and build a house for Habitat. STUCO approved the project and is now working on fundraising ideas. Caitlin and Nicole are facilitating collaboration with STUCO. Nicole and Chandler are members of STUCO and YAC.

-----------------------------------------------------
STUCO meeting with Habitat CEO Anne Felton
Mrs. Felton brought fundraising ideas. She suggested not to delay construction until the Spring. Winter months, weather permitting are better. They are not as busy either. She confirmed Casady's framing of house set for MLK Day. Thank you Habitat workers for giving up your off day to work with us.
STUCO presented a couple of emerging fundraisers in mind: Coffee House, Heritage vs. Casady B-Games ideas
Caitlin will explore partnership with Chesapeake Volunteer Coordinator.
Cecil had a preliminary meeting with Mr. Shelley and Coach Bonfiglio regarding history and MLK Day volunteer possibilities-older than 16 years old only- from winter sports and wellness.
Cecil will speak to winter sport coaches next week for volunteers and supervisors on MLK Day. He will generate a volunteer list to give to Scotie.
Scotie will talk to his Healthy Eating Club members to see if they are interested in fixing sandwiches on MLK Day for the volunteers framing the home for Habitat. Mrs. Clay already contacted Mrs. Thomas for supplies. Mrs. Thomas will talk to Mr. Sheldon. Scotie will not be able to participate himself. This club needs to find an adult supervisor for sandwich making at Calvert on MLK Day.
Mr. Pena has the challenge of finding construction days for Habitat Project. YAC and STUCO will look for partnerships for building and fundraising purposes. The goal is to for the seniors to have the opportunity to see the house completed before graduation.

YAC Meeting: Nov. 11th Preparing for MLK Day
How are Human Rights and the Dream connected?
Special thanks to Joan Korenblit, Respect Diversity Foundation for sending the Youth for Human Rights videos. She stated, "They are powerful and thought provoking. They touch on thirty human rights. My plan for Nov. 19 was to share some of these videos (see below) – launch into a discussion. Perhaps come up with more human rights – and create a collaborative HAIKU from the discussion.
You might want to have a kiosk at the MLK event to show them

This afternoon at the UNA-OKC meeting, Juliet Abdeyawad, an OSU student on the board of directors, agreed to make a hanging art collage of photos of events promoted by UNA-OKC. This collage will be showcased at the Respect Diversity Symbol Exhibit. She’ll also create a power-point presentation to show at the April luncheon. Therefore, we would appreciate it if you would forward photos from the 2010 Walk the World event. This is a great way to promote Walk the World 2011.

An example of Service-Learning project in the curriculum for Veterans
In recognition of Veterans Day, we here at the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse would like to spotlight just some of the great work that students are performing on behalf of our veterans. Voicing Experiences Through Service (VETS) is a multi-year, multi-state project funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service and housed at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, Indiana University, Bloomington. VETS supports young people ages 14 to 21 as they build relationships with veterans and collaboratively record oral histories of their service. These histories are then submitted to the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. You can read more about VETS in our service-learning success stories: http://servicelearning.org/success_stories/k-12-sector/voicing-experiences-through-service-vets
Last year, students from Creekwood Middle School and other schools in the Humble Independent School District in Texas took on a World War I-themed service-learning project. Inspired by the story of Frank Buckles, the last surviving WWI veteran in the U.S., students learned about the war in their classes, and raised funds to help restore and rededicate the WWI monument in Washington, D.C. You can learn more about the project in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaVJGE46gNY
For resources and ideas for service-learning projects that honor veterans in your community, please see our Veterans page on the NSLC website: http://servicelearning.org/topic/veterans

Special thanks to Joan Korenblit, Respect Diversity Foundation for sending the Youth for Human Rights videos. She stated, "They are powerful and thought provoking. They touch on thirty human rights. My plan for Nov. 19 was to share some of these videos (see below) – launch into a discussion. Perhaps come up with more human rights – and create a collaborative HAIKU from the discussion.
You might want to have a kiosk at the MLK event to show them

YAC MEETING: Advisory/Lace Art introduction
Jan and Judy from the Lace Club of Oklahoma City came to demonstrate lace making to YAC interested students. Arjun became the lace champion. Other students who attended were Tina, D. J., Reshawn, Johnesha, Salman,Alizay,Defne,Aamina. Mrs. Clay invited her advisee, Karalyn and YAC welcome a new member, John. John has been attending Service Saturdays since the beginning of the year.
We had a wonderful time attempting to learn how to make a fish with yarn. Pinctures forthcoming.
Aamina took a few minutes of the meeting to give a report of cans and money collected the first day of the Casady Cans Do Food Drive. $319 and 359 cans. She stated that if we keep this pace, we will not be able to beat the $1,700 and 1,960 cans from last year. Other YAC members were more optimistic and stated that we need to do more advertising, more signs!!! but noone volunteer to make them.
Mrs. Clay suggested to be proactive at motivating friends to bring donations. She also asked if selling Dr. Pepper for a $1.00 a can would be good. Students stated that they did not have time for that and all other activities this week. The motion to sell drinks was killed before it started.

Casady HS – 1,920 cans or pounds and 1,657.15
Casady MS - 3,693 LBS
Casady ES – 1,000 LBS
Mrs. Waters: Could you write a press release for this week or a news item for the website? Thank you.
Gales made signs last week and I think will continue to make signs and perhaps write statistics on side walks with chalk next week, weather provided. YAC members made signs to take to other divisions along with the can costume to motivate donations. YAC students with a couple of STUCO reps will be helping collections at every division next week. Students will be excused from chapel and must arrive to their locations before 7:30. Students should return to UD by 8:15. No one should be late to class.
Liz sent the below STUCO schedule for the week.
UD cans will be picked-up by Mr. Fresonke and his crew on a daily basis at a time convenient for them. Cans and money daily results will be read on a daily basis at lunch time. Money should be turned-in to Mrs. Jenkins on a daily basis. Aamina, Zainab, and D.J need to make containers for money for each grade level. They will be providing stickers, the first day and tattoos the second day, while supplies last.
In addition to this, the Ceramic classes will have a small silent auction on Wednesday with monies collected by Friday. The Kitchen will have a soup kitchen lunch one day this week too. Our chef, Mrs. Thomas will say a few words at lunch time that day about what our kitchen does with the leftovers. From Monday to Wednesday, the S-L office will sell Japanese Drinks for $3:00. which will bring a $1.00 profit for the Food Bank per drink. I need YAC members on duty to sell them. If it is a cold day, we will sell hot chocolate for $2.00.

StuCo will have a Halloween themed Olympic Event this day
Friday: YAC students on duty: Aamina and Zainab Shakir and D.J. Wood Other YAC students on duty at other divisions MD: Adam Hassoun, LD: Caitlin Anderson, Johnesha Hawkins, PD: Arjun Reedy
Blue and White Spirit Day (for Homecoming), Pep Rally, last day to bring cans/money
For the themed days, people may bring the themed food, or any food. They must bring cans or money to come out of uniform. I believe we decided on at least 5 cans or $5 to come out of uniform.
StuCo needs YAC members to count the cans and money for each grade so that at the end of the week we can know which grade raised the most (total cans and money) to announce who won the week long Olympic Event.
StuCo has the grades assigned to work with the YAC members in the morning either in the student center stamping hands or dressed as cans outside the divisions. I will send out a reminder this weekend.
Freshmen reps are scheduled to work Monday
Sophomore reps are scheduled to work Tuesday
Junior reps are scheduled to work Wednesday
Senior reps are scheduled to work Thursday
Freshmen reps are scheduled to work Friday
However, on the Thursday, we might need more YAC and Gales members to help out as dressing as cans/stamping hands because StuCo members will be busy with the Pancake Breakfast.
The Canned Foods Week is a Week-Long Olympic Event. The grade with the most cans and money combined at the end of the week wins. StuCo will do its best to announce this in chapel on Thursday or Friday of this week.
Sydney is in charge of making signs and she plans to start putting them up Friday of this week, and then a lot next week, too.

Blue and White Spirit Day (for Homecoming), Pep Rally, last day to bring cans/money
For the themed days, people may bring the themed food, or any food. They must bring cans or money to come out of uniform. I believe we decided on at least 5 cans or $5 to come out of uniform.
StuCo needs YAC members to count the cans and money for each grade so that at the end of the week we can know which grade raised the most (total cans and money) to announce who won the week long Olympic Event.
StuCo has the grades assigned to work with the YAC members in the morning either in the student center stamping hands or dressed as cans outside the divisions. I will send out a reminder this weekend.
Freshmen reps are scheduled to work Monday
Sophomore reps are scheduled to work Tuesday
Junior reps are scheduled to work Wednesday
Senior reps are scheduled to work Thursday
Freshmen reps are scheduled to work Friday
However, on the Thursday, we might need more YAC and Gales members to help out as dressing as cans/stamping hands because StuCo members will be busy with the Pancake Breakfast.
The Canned Foods Week is a Week-Long Olympic Event. The grade with the most cans and money combined at the end of the week wins. StuCo will do its best to announce this in chapel on Thursday or Friday of this week.
Sydney is in charge of making signs and she plans to start putting them up Friday of this week, and then a lot next week, too.

10 year ISAS Evaluation
After a meeting with the evaluator from ISAS, Mrs. Clay's recommendations for YAC are:
1. Help administration carve time for service days as part of the regular schedule.
2. Continue to promote and facilitate advocacy "all school projects" like pinwheels for peace. Total cost from service-learning budget for Pinwheels for Peace: $1,500 supplies and division gatherings at different divisions. Shinnyo-en provide $4,500 in t-shirts + the cost of transportation, accommodations for staff and speakers. Shinnyo-en also provided a wonderful dinner for the service clubs leaders and their sponsors: YAC, STUCO, Gales,and Art Club who made pinwheels outside of class.
3. Revise meeting agendas to motivate great YAC participation in weekly meetings

Special thanks to Adam for providing the cotton candy and popcorn machines and supplies. Arigato to Adam and Chase for volunteering the whole shift. Special GRACIAS to the CDC Club for helping host the guest dancers who demonstrated dances from India and Japan. Finally, MERCI! to Mr. Pena, Mrs. Clay, Mr. Fresonke and crew for helping set-up the fest and helping YAC coordinate efforts.
Food Bank Saturday Volunteering: Thank you Casady transportation for allowing YAC to use the mini-van. The only student who volunteered was John. Mrs. Clay waited for Briana and Maysia until 8:45, but had to leave to get to the Food Bank by 9:00 a.m. Flor, Sulan, Joe, John and Mrs. Clay were the Casady volunteers who along with 100's of volunteers from all around OKC and Norman packed 15,000 bread meals and 5,600 Food-4-Kids meals.
