Meeting #6


Meeting #6 was a quick full Student Council meeting to establish what supplies were needed for Deck the Café. The pre-decorating that went on today was very successful and a lot of what we wanted to get done was accomplished! Student Council would like to thank each and every single one of you who donated supplies and/or helped with the decorating, we really appreciate it. The next pre-decorating days will be tomorrow, Friday the 10th in the Conference Room (about 15-45 minutes, but not mandatory), and also Monday, the 13th. Thanks again everyone!

Meeting #5

In Meeting #5 specific stops and projects for our Candy Land theme were finalized. We talked about materials and supplies that will be needed for Deck the Cafe and we briefly spoke about what kind of feedback we got from the students and the faculty. If you noticed, there is a poll on the left side of the blog, so go ahead and vote to get your voice heard! Remember that there is also an e-mail for Student Council if you wish to contact us with any questions or concerns: ndstudents2010@gmail.com. Something that was also brought to the attention of Student Council is the increasing amount of garbage in the hallways. After Christmas break, we are planning to start a recycling program and work in co-operation with the Environmental Club, but for now, we ask you to please Keep ND Garbage Free. It takes only 10 seconds to pick up a bottle you see on the floor and throw it out in the trash. Chez Nous is our home, and we want to keep it as clean and comfortable as we can. Thanks!

Meeting #4

Meeting #4  was the second full meeting of Student Council! Changes were made to how the desks were arranged in the meeting, and we all sat in a circle to make the environment more open for discussion. Overall, it was a very productive meeting, and a lot of the planning and brainstorming for "Deck the Café" was established. The theme that was voted on was Candy Land, and there will be different stops along the cafeteria to make it look like a "Chez Nous Candy Land". The stops will be, (1)Chez Nous (2) Gingerbread Women (3) Candy Cane Land (4) Presents and (5) The Nativity. The days are split up into two days the 16th, and the 17th. Homerooms 202, 203, 205, 304, 305, and 403 will be going on the 16th, and homerooms 201, 204, 302, 303, 401, and 402 will be going on the 17th. When you go down to the cafeteria on the day assigned to your homeroom, go straight to your HR rep and sign in. the minimum time required to stay is 45 minutes , but if a student really can't stay for 45 minutes, and has a legitimate excuse we understand. The homeroom with the highest number of attendants will win a free dress down day! There will also be a bake sale going on in the middle of the cafeteria at that time, and all the money raised there will be donated to a foundation  for Ectodermal Dysplasia, (nfed.org to learn more), and is a very personal cause that a student, Tara Villaruel has asked us to support. So go to Deck the Café because it is going to be very fun, enjoyable, and a great way to show your school spirit!
