Agenda for September 19, 2011
1. Officers attending every Academy meeting?
• The officers will be attending meetings when they are needed
2. Concerns
• The sophomores need to get to know the rest of the academy students
• Suggestions: Seniors will be partnered up with an Academy sophomore to learn the ropes of the Academy and to feel comfortable around Academy students, Academy brunch on a weekend everyone will be able to get to know each other
• During Mrs. Kramers 4th period on September 21,2011 some academy students suggested to have a potluck with the sophomores, make a scrapbook, or have a bake sell afterschool
3. Academy meeting
• The Academy meeting for Seniors will be held this Thursday the 29th in Mrs. Garmons room during B lunch, the meeting is for the Senior trip and fundfraiser ideas
4. Tacos Tuesday, turned into tacos Friday?
• Sell tacos after school
• Get companies that will be willing to sell tacos and the academy will be getting some of the profit
• During movie nights sell tacos
5. Movie Night
• Officers will be in charge for a list of movies students may want to see, it has to be a PG-13, PG, or rated G movie
• Have movie night when there isn’t a football game
• Outside movie night has been too much of a hassle so probably move movie night inside the theater, but students cannot eat in the theater, will eat before entering the theater

Senior Field Trip Eligibility

Sophomores do Revolution, Juniors do resumes etc, we had discussed seniors doing an electronic portfolio but since that has been incorporated into the NDP I was thinking perhaps another avenue might be better. So.... I am thinking that a good senior qualification would be to require that they apply for at least 1 scholarship! Can't get any if you don't apply. What do ya'll think?

Exciting Year

I am excited to be a part of the Knight High School DD&E Academy. I think that this will be a great year because the senior class has gone full-circle--they will be the first graduating class to earn the honors as Academy students. I know this year will be both challenging and rewarding! I cannot wait to watch our kids buckle down and show the rest of the Antelope Valley how it's done here at Knight High School.
