Student Council Meeting Minutes, Dec 2008

Student Council Meeting Minutes
Morning/Evening – Dec. 8, 2008

Account Update -- Balance is more than $10,000 in our account.
Thanksgiving spending was around $600 – well below budget
of $1,200 – thanks to a generous gift of $700 (more on that below)!

Old/Continuing Business:
1. School Garden – The Adult School is looking good.
We’ve spent $600 so far. Keep those flowers and plants coming!

2. School Technology Advisory Committee – One more
student representative is needed. Time commitment is only
a couple hours per year. See teacher James Wu if interested.

3. Benches for outside the classroom; might cost around
$700-$750 each, but more options/costs will be studied.

New Business:
1. A hearty “Thank you!” to Richard Miller, a school Community
Advisory Board member, for his extremely generous $700 gift
to the students for our Thanksgiving parties. APPROVED:
Sending Mr. Miller a thank-you card signed by the students.

2. Second Harvest Food Drive:
Keep those food donations coming!!! Donation barrels are here for 9 more days, until Wednesday, Dec. 17. Next year, we might work together with San Mateo High students in their annual food drive.

3. San Mateo Adult School Cookbook sale:
Buy your cookbooks (filled with recipes from students and staff) for $5. They make great gifts -- and 100% of the profits go to our student fund. They’ll be on sale during breaks through Dec. 19th.
