Neat service learning opportunity. The
Holocaust Museum of Houston is making 1,500,000 handmade butterflies to
represent the life of each child who lost their lives during the Holocaust for a
Spring 2014 exhibit. They have collected 900,000 butterflies to date. What a
special way to make a difference! For more information, see http://www.hmh.org/ed_butterfly1.shtml or contact Mrs. Leni Burrow @ elnib@cox.net.

YAC Meeting, February 24th
YAC students were not reminded that there was a yearbook picture to be taken. We apologize to Mr. Effinger. Would we have had more than the 16 in the last photo? Maybe not. 7 students attended the meeting. Only one Relay for Life student came with letters. No one signed-up.
Jessica reported on weeks at other schools to raise funding. Nicole suggested to present her ideas to STUCO for crazy fun week.
Here is where HH is doing new this year: ICE week is our Improving Community Excellence week.. fundraising awareness for OU Cancer Institute and SWAG week is Student's with a Goal week. This is put on by Dr. Crynes' peer leadership group. They will have a week of various activities and then a day of service on Friday.
YAC has the opportunity to do something for National Volunteer Week or join hands with STUCO to promote a school wide event with focus on service this year. What would YAC students want to do??? Or is YAC done for the year?
Mrs. Clay asked YAC if they wanted to have a YAC team at the dodge ball tournament. They said yes, but the few students present were all in a team already or had commitments during the weekend. Only Blake G. said yes and he became the captain of a team with two players. Blake named the team, Team Peace.
Mrs. Clay notified Nicole who registered the team with STUCO. She suggested maybe joining with other incomplete teams. We will see what happens.
Jessica G. said that she might come with a friend and join the Peace Team. Mrs. Clay will pay the entry fee with money Jessica raised for YAC selling Wings items at Fall fest.

Our prayers with Anthony Shadid's family
Memorial Services at 2:00 p.m. Civic Center, Saturday March 3, 2012
Anthony
Viviste las palabras del gran filosofo espanol, Miguel de Unamuno,
Caminante no hay camino, se hace camino andar.
Verso a verso
Golpe a golpe
Ahora estas explorando la frontera final de la eternidad.
Los que todavia poseen los pies para continuar tu caminata
haran honor a tu legado de esperanza de paz por el ejemplo demostrado por el camino que surcaste durante el corto periodo de tu vida.
Tu recuerdo sera nuestra motivacion
