=**Meeting Dates and Times**=

=**Preliminary Research Findings**= After speaking to approximately 30 students on Friday May 28, 2010, I (Scott Steward) compiled some interesting data. Below is a snapshot of the feedback:


 * 1) Part of the reason some students have no school spirit is because they are too bogged down with the demands of their classes.
 * 2) Some students feel staff and security make 'moutians out of mole hills' making school a less than desireable experience; thus not making students feel proud to attend this school
 * 3) We need more 'fun' school activities
 * 4) We need more field trips
 * 5) We should get rid of the uniform policy or have more 'out of uniform' days
 * 6) Create some rivalry between grade levels
 * 7) Offer less academic pressure (reduce the grading scale)
 * 8) Offer more teams and clubs
 * 9) Have more spirit days
 * 10) Create opportunities for students to experience and embrace the concept of change
 * 11) Staff needs to be more consistent in discipline
 * 12) Find a solution to the student use of technology in the school
 * 13) Play music during lunch more often
 * 14) Include the drumline at more activities
 * 15) Demonstrate school spirit

Thanks Scott for taking time to poll and post student input. We must find ways to include students in our dialogue. We must first get them to understand that lowering our standards is not an option, but rising to meet challenges is the order of the day. I agree with the students on many fronts and we can and should include the voice and ideas. Just as we have set dates to meet with teams, I (Dushon Brown) would love for you and I to set dates and times to meet with students. When can we get this started? I am still learning to use wiki, so if I am posting information in the wrong place please feel free to HELP me do things correctly. Here is where we need to identify our team's goals.
