3. Jen
Wegwitz
-the grant that the school applied for was not accepted, so the council (Jen) applied for the same Community Foundations grant for the
healthy snack fridge, with a March 20 deadline. Further grants to be pursued.
-Goal to be
able to get the grant for the fridge and for a subsidizing amount for the first
year of food from community partners who will donate.
-Tasting
days- will try those in the school with an accompanying food fact sheet... choose a food, there would be a handout
about that food what they liked or didn't like about it.
-requires
volunteers to help prep food and deliver to classrooms
Great snacks
for everyone " When you are hungry you don't learn as well"
-Discussed
maybe a Golf fundraiser to jump start the funding for the program {this would
draw a different crowd than we are used to could be a worthwhile fundraiser}
-Question
asked "What is the expectation of the school council"
-decided
best if Jen forms her own fridge committee committed to this project
-town
librarians offered to be a part of that committee
-So Jen
would have her own mini committee meetings to discuss further project ideas and
implementation
-What are
the goals?
-Suggested
to have a survey to see about volunteers and who is interested
- Decided on
a table at student led conferences (March 23) in the school foyer to raise awareness of the fridge project and tasting days.
Natalie,
Loni, Cheri, and Jen to take shifts at table
-Student Led
Conferences are on March 23rd
{Then
deciding on further direction for fundraising for the project, interest of parents willing to volunteer on committee and parents interest gathered from an info table at S.L.C (student-led conferences)}
