This way we can come together in meetings and have them be productive. The meeting started at 2:45 and ended at about 3:30pm. **Next meeting: THU February** **26th, 2009** **in room 1803 at** **6:50 AM** **(morning!!)**
 * We welcomed the kids and explained the purpose of the club (read the mission statement)
 * **Eagle Bucks** – is it working? What can be done so that kids buy into it?
 * **Pep Rallys** – why don’t kids come? What would make kids want to attend?
 * **School Spirit** – why is it so low? What can be done?
 * Copeland/Stringer mentioned the goal of the group is NOT to “narc” on kids at school – the group is to report to us what the attitudes they witness at school, what they hear from their friends regarding the school environment, and then ultimately to propose solutions to make CyFalls a better place.
 * Fall Festival – Copeland’s idea for a school wide carnival of sorts for next Fall
 * All kids gave us their email addresses so we can have discussions outside of the meeting
