Today we started off the meeting with reports from the President to Mrs Hammadeh. We gave our own opinions and debated about the school uniform for the following year. We all talked about whether students should wear free dress day on field trips. After this discussion, the Vice President gave a report on a project that all classes should participate in for Black history Month. The class  presidents and vice presidents of each class must decorate a wall honoring Black history Month. There will be an award given to the best decorated door. Then the treasurer gave a report on a new idea to have bake sales every Tuesday hosted by small groups, and the group that makes the most money will win movie tickets. I was also given new tasks which are to create a Student Government scrap-book and post pictures on the website. A motion was proposed to raise the GPA required for Student Government from 2.5  to 3.0, which was not passed. Other amendments were proposed as well. One motion was to place hangers in classrooms for students to hang their jackets. Due to the fact that the time is up, the motion will be postponed til out next meeting.

Today not many Student Government officers showed up but we decided to go on with the meeting. A summary was given of what went on during the field trip. Members were taught how to use a camera properly and take pictures effectively. Due to continuous  absences, President Sahar Abuhadma, Secretary Nasr Alsoufi  and Class presidents of 12 and 9th grade have been dismissed  Treasurer Angham is now President. Also Mohamed S. is now class president and Jasmine is his VP for 12th grade. Fatima Ardi has been dismissed as the leader of the talent show so Seena is her replacement. We discussed  the talent show and decided to hold auditions soon. After that, we talked about a movie that the school will be watching on Friday. We are hoping to have the Director come as well. His movie relates to us in different ways, such as his religion and similar struggles for an education. So, we are thinking of different intelligent and effective questions to ask the director. Btw, it’s called Bilal’s Stand . That’s all

Today we started off the meeting by handing out folders. It seemed like there were many absences but also other volunteers are starting to join our meetings. We decided to take after our last meeting and debate the motion on who should lead the talent show. After discussing the topic further, a majority of the votes were for this motion, and so, it passed. Another motion was set by our parliamentarian Shaikah Shohatee, to create an “Ask Shirley” page on the website to  help students with any questions or redirect the to the chairmen. The motion was moved and passed. The last motion was proposed by the chairmen to give the responsibility of the student government badges to the secretary.

Today we had the meeting in the computer lab. We will all be going on the student government website and creating our accounts. We started off the meeting by distributing the student government folders. It is an important day for us all because it is the first time in HES school created a Student Government website. Then we started listening and voting on motions, but it was decided to postpone the debate until the next meeting in order to take advantage of the computers today. Unfortunately, students trying to register were unable to because it was blocked. However, Mr.C used the main computer to access the site and started our training on the smart bored. The site seems pretty cool and interesting so far, and its very useful. After getting over the main things, the chairmen decided to leave the rest until next time. That was all for today!
