Old Business: Discussion was held on the following student council events:

·       We discussed the February 23^rd Twin Day. It was not very well advertized so many students did not participate. It is still worth trying in the future.

·       February 29^th  Dr. Seuss “Read Across America Day” was great fun. The students liked the activities and the new used books. This should continue every year.

·       Allowing the  4^th grade students sharing in the responsibility of reading the Morning Announcements is good. This will be continued.

·       Students really like to new pencil selections. Sales are up!

New Business:

·       St. Patrick’s Lucky Grams were sold at lunch from March 12-15. This seemed to be successful but we do not have a total yet.

·       April 26^th will be “Dress as a Famous Person from History or Character in a Book Day”. Students must have a basic knowledge of the person they will portray. Start Thinking!

·       May 31^st VVES 1^st Annual Talent Show. Time and location to be announced. A sign up will be held soon. Talents can include: singing, dance, musical instruments, and special talents. All participants need to audition. No lip-sync will be allowed.

·       School Sign: The sign will be blue with green trim. The School Board gave permission for it to be made.

LEARNING TO LIVE~~LIVING TO LEARN

VALLEY VIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

SAFE, CIVIL & PRODUCTIVE

Construction of the sign will begin this week at the High School.

The Class Reps and Officers need to talk to their classmates about ways they can use the student council funds. We estimate the sign will cost $200, so we still have about $200 left. Ideas were new playground equipment and a pump to fill the balls. Another idea was to put a bench in the front. Ideas need to be solicited in class and brought to the next meeting.

Next Meeting will be held April 11, 2012.
