=//**__ Secretary-Treasurer Page __**//= Hey, I'm Corey Novick, Secretary-Treasurer at Edgewood Middle School, and I will keep you up-to-date on all fundraisers and Student Council meetings!

Today we had our first Student Council meeting! Remember to SIGN your name during attendance at all meetings. Here are some of the things that we discussed: Great first meeting, everyone. I'll get back to you with notes from our next meeting on October 7th. :)
 * September 16, 2010**
 * Everyone signed up for at least one committee to devote themselves to for the year, which was either the Go Green Committee, the Community Service Committee, or the Student Activities Committee (some of you decided to join two or even three committees.) Great!
 * We all voted on some amazing theme ideas for the 6th Grade Dance, but in the end, the 60s won by majority. The 6th Grade Dance will be held on October 8th from 7-9 p.m.
 * Allen, our Go Green Chair, talked about reducing our paper usage and proposed to organize some interesting activities to make the world a better place.
 * Everyone voted today on various Red Ribbon week theme days, which will be taking place the week of October 18th. We voted to have Pajama Day "Wake up, go to school, and follow a drug free lifestyle," Superhero Day "Be a hero in your community, don't do drugs," Hats, Shades, Socks, and Tie Day "Don't let drugs disguise who you really are," Jersey Day "Be a good sport, don't do drugs," and Red Day "Celebrate a drug free lifestyle." Thank you everyone who proposed a theme day.
 * Tell your advisories about the up and coming Moraine Township Food Drive!

Everyone please SIGN your name upon entering a Student Council meeting. This meeting consisted mostly of Old Buisness, and there will be much more to come in November and December. See you all then!
 * October 7, 2010**
 * We finalized theme days for Red Ribbon Week including: Pajama Day, Superhero day, Hats, Shades, Tie, and High Socks Day, Jersey Day, and Red Day.
 * It was decided universally by the Student Council to create reusable hall and nurse passes (which were completed by Ms. Ryan, our own Green Chair Allen Wehner, and myself).
 * I hope all of you sixth graders had fun at the 6th Grade on October 8th that had a 60's theme.

Remember to come to EVERY MEETING to ensure a spot in our incentive trip! Everyone SIGN your name on your designated grade sheet. Can't wait to see everyone at our next meeting on December 2nd!
 * November 4, 2010**
 * The vote turnout on which organization Edgewood will donate to this holiday season was: Phyllis Santullano-41, Jesse Sherwood-4. The Phyllis Santullano is a local organization which will be provided gifts by our school, using the money that we make from fundraisers.
 * We came up with ideas to welcome new military students into our Edgewood family. Some include: Letting them sit at your table at lunch, having a welcome committee talk to the students, holding a welcome party including teachers, executive board student council members, and the military children themselves, writing a welcome letter from the whole of student council, each advisory gets one military child to write a welcome letter to, or make an altered version of the "friendship groups." None have been chosen to be put into affect.
 * Also, we came up with a few December community service ideas which are: The Public Action to Deliver Shelter (PADS), bike drive, or collect used or broken crayons (or items that someone would throw away) and donate them.
 * Mix It Up Day is a nationwide event occurring on November 9th. Edgewood plans to celebrate this day by handing out different colored bracelets randomly at lunch, so students get to interact with students that they might not have in the past. There will be break the ice games, and who knows, you might make a new friend in the process!
 * The Moraine Township Food Drive starts on November 8th, and ends November 18th. Please tell your advisories to bring in canned goods (you were provided a list of food that your grade will be centered around). Remember to fill out the sheet asking how many items your advisory brought in as the winner will receive the Turkey representing the most giving advisory.

Everyone be prepared for a busy January and February! I hope to see all of you at our next meeting, scheduled for January 13th!
 * December 2, 2010**
 * Overall, Mix It Up Day seemed to go well. Here is some feedback from Student Council: "It was okay. I had some worries about trading wristbands, but it really went better than expected," "The list about how to start a conversation didn't help, we did our own activities," "We should do something like this at either the beginning of the year so 6th graders can meet each other, or during Military Week to bring those children closer to us," and "The lunchroom was so loud that we could barely hear each other."
 * There is a mandatory meeting in Room 129 at 7:20 a.m. for all who are interested in Edgewood's Got Talent!
 * This past week we voted on theme days for Spirit Week, and the days are: International Day (Wear clothes to support the country of your choosing), Crazy Hair/Hat Day (Keep your friends begging to try on your insane hat), Black Out Day (You ARE your shadow), Pajama Day (A classic), and Blue/White Day (It's what Spirit Week is all about). For all of you 6th Graders who have never experienced Spirit Day, it is the BEST day of the year!
 * The winner of the most giving advisory for the Moraine Township Food Drive is (drum roll please): Mr Schmisser's advisory! Congradulations and take good care of the Turkey!
