MMM 8 March

We are looking forward to our student-led conferences! Students, you each have made progress this year - some wins have been big, some have been little, but they are all wins. It can be challenging to talk about ourselves (and especially to celebrate ourselves), but it is so important to recognize the good. 
 
You’ll see the current standings for our March advisory competition below (based on logins). Keep those logins coming! It’s an expectation anyway, so it isn’t an extra “ask”, but it comes with a potential bonus this month if your advisory is in the lead.
 
General announcements

• Appreciations!
  • Jeannette: Everyone who helped out at Turner Farm last week
  • Steve: Jeremiah, Maddy, Tyler, Kaileb: Orienteering module & having a great optimistic attitude

• Other announcements
  • Kitchen is closed because students have not been using it appropriately
    • Table was originally set up as space for students to eat lunch, but it became a place for distraction
    • Food was being played with - stuffed in cupboards, stacked so it would fall over, thrown down the hallway, etc.
    • Discuss options for re-opening in Advisory and share out by the end of the week
  • Interested in a summer volunteering opportunity that would look great on your resume? The BV Public Library is looking for someone to work for them with their Summer Reading program:
    • “The Library is looking to increase our Teen Services in many ways. One way is by having Teen Volunteers help with program support and development. We are starting this off with Summer Reading. We would need help with the Youth and possibly Teen programs. Registration, program setup and breakdown, crowd control for events, etc. Hours could just be extra hands for events up to a few hours a week.” 
    • E-mail Kelly Nary ([email protected]) if you are interested
  • Conferences this week and next: talk up your accomplishments! Set goals for the rest of the semester with your advisor if you haven’t already
