NOW to business
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.
MLK Chapel speakers Week of 10-14th
Joan Korenblit has provided the contact information for three of our speakers. Ask Ms. Korenblit to help you create your one minute introduction for each speaker. You have some bios. Check the internet for others. A change was made on Wednesday. I need to contact Mrs. Johnson regarding how interested she is on the guest speaker for her class and what budget she has. The Native American speaker will be coming for MD chapel if Mrs. Johnson is not interested or not at all for MLK. We will reserve him for Multicultural Week, should Mr. Miano and the club be interested.
On Monday we have Dr. Gloria Pollard for all chapels http://www.respectdiversity.org/page/page/4149836.htm. D.J. Wood’s choice
On Tuesday, Elizabeth Mueller for UD and MD. Johnesha’s choice.
On Wednesday we have two possible speakers for UD William Voelker who is also coming for the Cultural Collisions class. Since he requires a fee, Joan also provided the contact information of the author of the IF books used by Spanish Classes last year. I am very excited about this speaker. Cheryl is clearing her schedule for all chapels and checking about providing a workshop on MLK Day at the Library.
On Thursday we have Amy Petty, Bombing Survivor for UD and MD chapels. Caitlin Anderson’s Choice.
On Friday we have OCU President Robert Henry for UD and MD? chapels.
If you need to get in touch with me, my cell is 520-1325.
NOW decide what you want to accomplish in the morning and what you want to do in the afternoon. Also decide where you want to eat lunch.
The reflection of 2010 should be left for the afternoon. Postponed until Monday or later when YAC meeting schedule permits it.
May 2011 bring us inner peace, harmony and balance as well as closer to a world at peace someday with the POWER OF US WITH YAC. The slide show below is 15 minutes long. We will do this in the afternoon or at our next YAC meeting
