STUDENT COUNCIL Newsletter

_____________________________________________________
      December 05, 2008

Dear Fellow Students:

We begin our first issue of the Student Council 

newspaper. We came up with this idea because we thought 

it will be the best way to communicate with you about us,
 
the student council wants to inform you of what’s going on

based on our meetings and what are some activities we are
 
planning and coming up. This newsletter will be given every
 
week, or bi-weekly, with news updated. So please keep

  track of what we are informing you and if you have any
 
questions, suggestions and even complaints, you can 

speak to students who are wearing pink ID’s which indicate 

that they are SC members.  

We are going to announce some of the things we are 

planning right now and discussed during our Student
 
Council meeting Monday (December 02, 2008) 

First of all, we really want to thank all of you for making our Halloween Party really successful. We really appreciated your help setting up the decorations, making them, and cleaning, and especially to our group leaders. We never thought you were really excited about this party until we saw you researching on the internet what you are going to wear, talking about buying Halloween customs and party, and especially when we saw all of you spending a lot of money buying all the customs and staff for the party. And that was the time we started to think it seriously and started to worry about Halloween Party. We had really short time to prepare and set up things. But because of your help, everything went so great and so fantastic. We hope you will continue to support and help us in every activity we do. And we will also try our best to come up with better parties and activities.

We are now planning the Christmas activities, please let us know your ideas.

FUNDRAISING 

The weather is getting cold! 

The Student Council will design some special St Paul 

School Winter cloths to keep you warm. 

We will have a logo design but you can choose what color 

you want. But we are not sure yet if when we can start 

making them so still that must be finalized. So if you have 

any suggestions, you can come to us and say about what
 
will be better for you and for others. 

The second fund raising we came up with was a game
 
competition. Especially to the boys, we are going to have
 
competition and to those who will win will win a prize. I think 

it will be fun and interesting. So those who wants to push 

through this fund raising, we can talk to your adviser or to
 
any members of student council. 

     The third thing we are planning is a “karting” car race to 

the boys. Who are interested in driving and racing, I think it
 
will be really great time to participate this. (More detailed
 
things will be posted on the whiteboard) 

We think this is all for this week, 

Thank you for reading and as we mentioned above, if you
 
have questions and some suggestions to give, you can tell
 
your adviser or approach student council member. We will
 
be really glad to hear your voice.
