2) The Minutes of 1/10/13 were reviewed; Katie made a motion to approve the Minutes, this was seconded by Ben and the Minutes were unanimously approved.

3) Cameron gave a Financial Report: After expenses were taken out and the addition of Popcorn and pencil sales, the Student Council has $709.56

4) Project Funds to end of year: we make approximately $100 for each popcorn sales. After estimating future popcorn sales and Lucky Grams we expect to have $1,100 by the end of the school year.

5) Old Business:

a) School sign: Mr. Ineck at BFHS has purchased a new machine that will cut the metal for our sign. They are currently learning how to use it. Because of the delay in this project the School Budget will absorb the cost of metal for the sign. We hope to have this in place before the end of the school year.

b) Door mat: we will hold a contest for the design of the front door mat. We have a few entries by the front door. Ideas will be collected for the next two weeks. The Student Council will choose the winning design. This is open to all students; place your idea in the suggestion box. The Front Door Mat will cost approximately $400.

c) Animal shelter: in April we will hold a classroom contest for who can collect the most items to donate to the animal shelter. The Student Council Officers will visit with the Animal Shelter manager to get a list of acceptable items (ie. cat and dog food, chew toys, cat litter, etc). The class with the most items will earn an ice cream party.

d) Rex Theatre: the Student Council would still like to donate to the renovation of the downtown theatre. There is a concern regarding a donation to a private business. We will look into this.

e) May Day Cards, etc for Restorium: The end of April the Student Council invites any and all classes to make cards, draw pictures and write poems for residents in the Restorium. These will be delivered to our Senior members.

6) Date of next meeting: April 11

7) The Student Council then discussed making a sample edition of a School Newspaper. Students were given assignments and need to bring an article/puzzle/comics to the next meeting. The name of the newspaper will need to be selected: “Valley Views” was one idea.
