Second and third YAC Meeting: Tuesday, September 13, B-block

SERVICE-LEARNING NEWS: Mrs. Clay was away attending a COVA meeting (Central Oklahoma Volunteer Administrators).  Mrs. Taucer supervised the meeting. No minutes, but it was reported that only 5 students attended. Mrs. Clay participated at a true colors workshop, which she will bring to Casady YAC on a Saturday for interested students. The workshop will TARGET FRESHMEN AND YAC CHAIRS. It will take place at Camp Fire USA where YAC will serve after the workshop. Date: TBA, but it will be in October or at the end of September. Jessica Green brought the CEO of Wings at 10:00 a.m. Both ladies are looking for a sustainable, direct contact service between YAC and Wings. It is a great opportunity for YAC to do something different with a great group of students. Go FRESHMAN, YAC CHAIR.

Third meeting
We continued to wait for STUCO's directives and decided not to meet until we were given the go ahead for projects. YAC also decided to minimize YAC lunch meetings to when they were really needed.

The first project as a team will be fundraiser, Fall Fest, October 14.

Mrs. Clay requested volunteers to help pinwheel making on October 15, day off. She also requested volunteers to place language pinwheels around the lake. Only Khadija signed-up.

The schedule of activities for international day of peace sponsored by language classes was presented to the YAC leadership, but only Khadija embraced it. Khadija requested an out of uniform for International Day of Peace for the UD, but it was denied because there were too many out of uniforms for the month of September already: 65 b-day of Casady and Dig Pink. The UD celebration would be limited to pinwheel planting and chorus and orchestra chapel performances.

YAC members were also asked if they wanted to learn to make a giant pinwheel with intern from architectural firm. Khadija signed-up. Khadija also started a mural, which could not be finished to 9/21, but she stated that she would work on it when time was available. The mural will be presented at the Respect Diversity Foundation Exhibit in March and at the 5th grade "May Peace Prevail on Earth" exhibit at the MD in December.
