SRC update, November 18, 2009

Hey everybody! This is your SRC executive here to give you an update on the SRC news.

SRC is active at George Street to raise money and sponsor student activities and of course, to spread school spirit around! So far this fall we have run the Perfection Campaign (it made over $8,500 in profit!), organized a dance and planned for the year. At our recent meeting, we were preparing our budget for the year.

To date the council has voted on giving:
-$750 to the Yearbook Committee for the purchase of a new laptop.
-$1,170 to Mr. Plourde to purchase student of the month medals for the next four years.
-$800 to buy turkeys for each class for the “George Cares, George Shares” programme.

Also, we are starting to discuss possible themes for this year’s Winter/Spring Carnival. Nothing is finalized so not even the SRC knows what the plan is yet but no matter what it is, it will be great! We were also talking about raising money for the Twitti School in Zambia, Africa
(A school that GSMS is helping to build). So far this year, we have raised $323.27 for Twitti and that’s just through the “Keep the Change” programme. Keep donating your extra pennies and nickels George Street because every bit helps! We are also forming a Twitti Committee from class reps who will plan and organize all of the activities that have to do with fundraising for the Twitti School (ex. PJ/crazy hat & hair days, sock hops etc.).

Until next time,
Your V-P,
Daniel Luton
