J.D. Salinger by Kenzie Moore and Rylie Gines

I think that new work by Salinger being published would have a large impact because the one novel he has published has become a classic and a house hold name. Most authors who are as well known as Salinger have written many books to gain as much fame as he has from his one book. A movie about his life would interest many people because most don't know much about him. Getting the rights to make the movie would be difficult because he was a private person and his family would most likely respect that. Salinger would never agree to making a movie or publishing his work while he was alive, so now that he is dead his loved ones will probably keep his life as secretive as he did.

T-Shirt design

Here is an idea for the shirts. Please leave comments.

helping a stranger

The opportunity never arose for me to stick up for or help a stranger this past week. I did however, make some sort of an effort. Today we got a new girl in my class, Katie. Her locker is only a few down from mine, so i took the initiative to introduce myself and ask how her first day at a new school was. I also told her if she needed any help around the next few days, i'd be glad to step in!

Ideas for purse and dress-up day appeals to principals

We have a group putting together an appeal to be allowed to carry purses at lunch and a group who will argue that we should be allowed to have Gender Bender day for spirit week and that students would be allowed to wear underwear outside of pants for Super Hero day. Any good arguments or support for arguments that they could include in their proposals?

Shirts

You guys wanted t-shirts, right? Ideas?

Good ideas from the leadership conference...

We had several members who attended the RHS leadership conference. What did you learn that we could use in our quest to improve RHS?

Helping Out

Hey. We'd talked about doing something for Haiti, but we didn't have very many creative ideas. Kelsi and I, though, talked about how a lot of students are angry that so much money is headed to Haiti while people in Riverton/Springfield are also in need (Chloe had mentioned this at last week's meeting too). So we talked about maybe choosing a school who had raised money for Haiti and trying to top their dollar amount and then give it to Contact Ministries or the Riverton Food Bank or something.

Ideas?

Bulletin Board/Advertising

People in Charge: Ashley C., Hana T.

These girls will keep our bulletin board (class cup points, what we're working on, announcements, etc.) up to date and will handle announcements and press releases.

Any ideas for them? Anything you need for them to advertise? Put it here.

School Policy

Committee Members: Seth M., Bret T., Maddie R., Ali C.

The purpose of this committee is to collect input from students to make recommendations to Mr. Lamkey and Mr. Gum regarding current school policies/rules/programs or to make suggestions for new ones.

Any issues that you can think of or have heard other students bring up? Please post them.
