- one person from each humanities class will communicate and be part of a team that selects organization to give money to
- perhaps pick one organization in each organization and put it to a whole school vote. Humanities class will choose the organization they want to have in the all school vote.
- all school community meeting not an option, all community meeting times have been spoken for already
- Humanities class representatives should report back to their Humanities classes today to report back on senate meeting happenings, introduce Penny Harvest donation selection process decided on by ASB
- give names of each Humanities class representative to Mr. Bell by next Friday
Spring Musical:
- Ms. Storey is asking to promote Ballard High School’s spring musical, Cabaret, by hanging poster in the school.
- Motion unanimously passed
Students and paraphernalia:
- Healthy lifestyle is not always the choice of every student
- Ms. Britsova does not want to call 911 at the dance or in general because of alcohol or drug usage. It’s been thought that the situation at TCS was improving, yet maybe it’s not?
- Promote cause and effect or have a fun video or anti-drug/alcohol groups/posters, etc. to promote a healthy lifestyle of anti-drug/alcohol
- Can student senate take a stronger stand on promoting a healthy lifestyle at the school? Does ASB want to do something?
- Unanimous vote to support Ms. Britsova in promotion of healthy lifestyle. A specific plan or action has not been decided on, but we, as ASB, have chosen to support Britsova on this issue.
- A group of senate members can go into each Humanities class to talk about drug/alcohol free lifestyles and discuss that school is not the place to use them when Britsova is ready
Prom:
- Seniors have said that they want a seniors only prom. Currently, prom is supported by CSCA, but prom needs to go through ASB as a CSCA supported prom is not legal. Seniors have taken a vote saying they didn’t want a senior/junior prom.
- Prom committee: meets every Tuesday @ tutorial in Greenberg’s room
- Issue: senior prom or senior-junior prom
- Need to change the CSCA ability to have just a senior prom. At this time, it seems that CSCA can sponsor a solely senior prom, and ASB has to have whole-school dances.

- All val-o-grams come with a box of conversation hearts

Interhigh:

Harry Potter fundraiser:
- Faye thinking of idea of inter-class competition to raise money for classes by putting money in jars, Faye proposing to tap onto that idea by having Harry Potter ‘jewels’ to put jewels in the jars (pay to put a jewel in the jar)
- One jewel removed for every unexcused absence (or at least a percentage as there are more freshman)
