Prom fundraising proposals:
- Bake sale: will not be able to be on the balcony as noted on the sheet (4/14-4/15 at lunch), all items will be donated by students
- Change war: profits go to the prom funds. Four jars at the desk, one for each class – penny is minus one point, silver is one positive point – from 4/14 to 5/18
o Typically the profits are split between the winning class and the other benefactor (in this case prom), either a 25/75 split, or a 50/50 split
- Another opportunity to have a bake sale would be at the QSR night
- Unanimous motion to approve the two junior/senior prom fundraisers
Penny Harvest winner:
- There will need to be an announcement of the winners on morning announcements – Doctors Without Borders is the winner

Sam Wolk’s fundraising ideas
- Fundraisers for school
o A play off of Bite of Hale – admission is ten cents, when you win tickets you get portions of food from each of the clubs (who will have food)
o A play off of Mr. Hale – Doctor Center: a pageant to have a talent show…
Elections for next year
- Having co-officers for next year is a great idea so that if one officer is unable to attend there is still representation
- Keep thinking about whether or not you’d like to be on Senate next year
Ideas for next year
- Having beginning art a requirement for freshman, there is no integration between the classes in the electives, unlike previous years. In occupation ed classes, there are generally only upperclassmen
- Scheduling for next year: students/senate members need to be involved in scheduling for next year and have some representation – officers should get in contact with the PLT (Professional Leadership Team) in charge of scheduling – Spanish/Math teachers
- Staff meeting next Wednesday that the senate officers should be involved in
- If each student had a free period next year then they might be able to have on study hall-like class
- If students are aware of the free and reduced lunch list, then our school receives more money per student for the school
- When we have no food court options next year, classes might want to each assume one day per week when we can provide a lunch option for the students (for example, we could get in contact with some of the businesses in the surrounding blocks to see if they’d be willing to give us a reduced price – for example Pagliacci pizza one day a week)
Movie nights for the school on Friday nights
- Ashley would be interested in hosting a school movie night for the Friday after break (or two weeks after break)
HSPE
- The sophomores will be taking the HSPE Science test this coming Tuesday, April 12th
