Enough! Club

Vow of Silence Day is Friday.  We’ve set a goal of $100 of sponsor pledges for each student.  We made information cards to hand to people who ask why we’re not talking on Friday. We made announcements for the rest of the week to encourage the Tappan community to sponsor us.  Good luck, everyone!

We discussed how to let the Tappan community know about our campaigns for the year.  Some ideas include:  article in the Tappan Tabloid, presentations to advisories, and a song with rewritten lyrics.  What are your ideas?  What action will you take to make them a reality?

We talked about spending more time on the “Eat” and “Play” parts of Life in Action.  We already do well with the “Care” part.  Again, what are your ideas?  One idea is to have a healthy snack at meetings.  Maya, Clare, and (hopefully) Cydney will bring a healthy snack to our next meeting which will be on November 30.

Thanks to Alex for facilitating our meeting.

For those of you celebrating Thanksgiving near and far, have a yummy, safe holiday.

Remember:  You can’t change the world from 3 – 4 p.m. on Mondays.  Take action.

Weekly Goals:

Get sponsors.

Come to Room 107 on Friday to get your picture taken.

Think of ways to spread the word about our campaigns.

Think of ways to incorporate “Eat” and “Play” into our activities.

Thanks, Anna, for running today’s meeting.  We had a record breaking 37 students!

Thanks, Dr. J., for picking up all of the shirts for us!

Vow of Silence Day, here we come!  We made shirts today.  Thanks to those of you who have already paid.  If you have not, please bring $2 tomorrow.  Those of you who have not finished your shirt, please come at lunch tomorrow to finish it.

Goals:

Get sponsors for Vow of Silence Day.  Be sure to explain what we are doing and why.  There is information on the back of your sponsor form.  We’re building a school in Kenya.  Checks should be made out to “Free the Children.”  Decide what type of vow you are taking.  (No talking, for sure.  No texting?  No Facebook?  No writing?  No sign language?)

Alex is running next week’s meeting.
