Account Update -- Balance more than $10,000 in our account.
Income from last month’s photo ID sales -- $1,700.
Thanks to all you students who bought IDs !!!

New and Ongoing Business:
1. Benches for outside the classrooms –
Morning Student Council approved an additional $1,500 –
for a total of no more than $4,500 -- for four benches and/or outdoor tables. The extra $1,500 will be voted on by the evening council at its next meeting.

2. Student bake/food sales and other fund raisers:
The Room 20 evening class had two food sales last month, and donated $120 in profits to the student government. Great job! Recommendations for future sales: Be sure to inform your teachers, announce the food sale in advance, don’t make
too much food, and keep the prices low. Also talked about: raffling a TV or laptop to raise money.

3. Our Student Garden is now open later !!!
(With the time change this past Sunday, it now doesn’t get dark
until 7:30 p.m., and next month, 8 p.m.) Morning council
approved no more than $500 for recycling bins for plants
and weeds. The evening council took no vote on the proposal.

4. Other projects/recommendations/ideas:
Ø Attention Drivers !!! – Remember to park your cars
close together in the dirt parking lot, to leave more room
for more cars. Repairs will be made this Friday afternoon – please remember not to park there after 12 noon Friday.
Ø Carpooling – Let’s start a carpool message board in the student lounge (Room 32) for sharing rides to school.
