Ever wonder what is discussed at these weekly Students In Action Leadership Meetings? Here is a peak at our latest agenda:1. It is the 350th anniversary of Elizabethtown, New Jersey. There is a contest open to NJ students to design a creative logo for the anniversary celebration. Grand Prize is a $500 PC Richard gift card. Other prizes include a 8GB Ipod Touch! Several of our students are eager to enter the contest with their hopefully winning design.
2. NJ Helping Hands has created a BLOG space on NJ. com for our SIA service activities. Our Techies are exploring the site to get ready to post volunteer projects, as our Delivering Happiness friends would say, "to inspire and inspired".
3. The planning of the Mid-Winter Conference included: Identifying a student(s) with a passion for a project to make a 5 minute presentation to the group; to compile a list of different service projects responding to the needs of the community; and help design the break-out sessions.
4. Discuss how to engage other schools to become Jefferson Students In Action High Schools through the use of phone conversations, meetings, and distribution of SIA packets of materials.
5. Share ideas for the promotion of the Jefferson Award Globe Changers Program, Youth Service Challenge, and Jefferson Awards N.J. Governor's Award. Internally, we shared Fuzzies for the Homeless and showed the fruits of the girls good efforts - bags and bags and bags and bags and bags and bags of Little Comfort Bags of Love containing warm scarves, note of encouragement, candy canes, and some with tissues, cough drops, and hand sanitizer as well. 6. Plan for a possible meeting next week with Seton Hall Prep to share our ideas to help them get organized to accomplish the 7 Goals to be a successful Jefferson Award Students In Action Leadership School.
