Call this meeting to ORDER

On Thursday, we heralded in a new semester.

This semester welcomes Haley Walk to third hour and switches gears from public speaking to debate.   I predict a lot of heated arguments over tacos, burritos, waffles, pancakes and more!

In fourth hour, Merry Dial officially joined our leadership team. Our class started with some rousing enthusiasm over Trey's hero themed scholar retreat plan.  It was great to hear suggestions, ideas, etc from everyone.  Remember YOU will ALL play a part in making this successful, so keep brainstorming and bringing in your ideas.  Great job, Trey.

Adam also presented his dystopian idea for field day.  Hunger Games will rule the day along with good food and the all important CHAIRS!  Good thinking, Adam!  I especially like how you took into account feedback from past field days.  That's definitely what a leader does.

Our next activity is the Valentines Exchange.  It will be fun, simple, and fantastic.  I know Katie and Merry will do a great job taking the reins.  Next week, we will be manning a Valentine box making booth.  So put those smiles on your faces and be ready to help out at lunch....EVERYBODY!!!    Also, please bring any boxes, paper, stickers, or other fun item that can be used to decorate a Valentine box.  

Lastly, Teacher Genne led us into the exciting world of Parliamentary Procedure.  This is an important procedure to understand as a leader.  It will aid you when you participate and lead a meeting.  I hope you all took notes and slipped those worksheets into your leadership notebooks.  

Next week, Adam will present his leader deconstruction presentation.  And it would be outstanding if Katie continued her book report presentation.  Katie, choose your favorite leadership law and tell us what and why!  Simple : )!

And remember Robert's Rules of Order?  You are supposed to read it! And if you do, not only will you glean valuable insight, you will also be rewarded with something fabulous!!! 

Your first reading assignment is :

XXV-XLV

XLVII-XLVIII

539-542

548-580

And, don't forget to bring in a leadership quote or experience!  I love hearing these.

We'll see you Thursday!
