2. Casady Cans Do: See videos of Food Bank-Place posters around school of Service Saturdays at the Food Bank.  Report on Food Bank Saturdays: 3 students attended.  1 YAC member-Christine L.  Schols and Kids fighting hunger: http://www.childhungerendshere.com/Html/FightHunger.html, Huddle to Fight Hunger: http://www.facebook.com/KraftFightHunger.  Arjun N. suggested an extra priviledge day competition instead of the out of uniform incentive.  Liz N. suggested Food-4-Food incentive.  People who bring cans get a package of fruit snacks. 

Regarding gaining greater understanding of why to give, Mrs. Clay suggested the formation of a new committee, a chalked statistics committee.  This group will be responsible for writing statistics they pick about why to address hunger in our city, especially childhood hunger.  The discussion has been about one or several statistics per day.  From a marketing point of view, one per day is recommended by Mrs. Clay.

Mrs. Clay also suggested a partnership with new stores to see how they can help our efforts to increase donations to the food bank.  Liz will speak to people who have connections to those stores.  Every class could have a partner store, example:
Seniors: Whole Foods
Juniors: Famers Market
Sophomores: Crest
Freshmen: Wall Mart
