Anne Ward called the meeting to order at 9:10.

•Committee Reports

CCC – There is an orientation of new volunteers scheduled for next Monday at 9:30. If you did not get your e-mail about the meeting, let Martha or Julie know. They have a list of duties as well as some specific jobs to assign to people.

At the orientation Alice will go over what the jobs entail and Julie and Martha will go over the basics.

Leslie Beechwood, Sydney York and the action committee have gone to Southridge and Westview to look at their CCCs. They will now plan a meeting with Martha, Julie, Linda and Alice to go over what they have found. Leslie reported that Westview had some very innovative ways to get students to come in. They require all Juniors to come in and do a research project, researching 3 Universities, whether they are college bound or not.

Counseling – They are having a senior transcript sending “party” on Monday from 9-11. It is in the small conference room A, behind the main office. Lynne Hessel will be coordinating the effort.

They just finished re-filing the vault so all student records are now in alphabetical order.

Student Liaison – Barbee is still looking for three more couples to chaperone the Mardi Gras Dance. It is Feb 12th from 8-11 at the Zoo.

Newsletter – Next Thursday at 9:00 we will be doing the newsletter, most likely in the community room.

Staff Appreciation – Wednesday, May 18th will be the next staff appreciation day. We will have another potluck. Look for more info to come as we get closer.

Mentoring
James, Rita Morgan (who is coordinating our small learning communities) and Denise Velaski are going to meet to begin developing a mentoring program. They will determine how to coordinate the program across the school and see how it will fit together. Ours is a parent volunteer program, modeled after the one that exists at Sunset. Theirs involves parents mentoring Juniors. Ours will begin next year.

Forecasting Packets
On February 9th, 18th and 24th we will coordinate a volunteer effort to stuff forecasting packets.

Fred Meyer
Has provided an opportunity for volunteers to earn $8.00 and hour for their organization by manning the table to get customers to sign up for the new shopper reward cards. So far members from Grad Night, Drama, Band and Choir are participating.

Grad Night
They are planning a Texas Hold ‘Em fundraiser night on April 2nd. It will be held off campus. Look for more details soon.

VICE PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

• There was an incident with a young lady yesterday morning between 9:30 and 10:00 am. Two males forced her into a 2nd floor restroom and one of them produced a knife. The victim grabbed the knife to defend herself and may have cut her hand. She described the males as wearing dark hooded sweatshirts. The Beaverton Police responded immediately and have been very helpful.
• The Mardi Gras Dance is next Saturday, February 12th.
• Beaver Days will be August 30th and 31st next year. There will be 2 ½ hours per class with an hour break in between.
• New student council reps were elected. James would like to see a more variety of kids get involved in student council.

Beaverton Education Foundation
Has bought the house for the Sept 24 Lion King Show. You can purchase tickets now at www.beavertonkids.org.

Student Behavior
Michelle has not scheduled a parent meeting yet concerning student behavior at dances at games. The feeling of several committee members is that all the “hoopla” surrounding the issue has died down a bit, and felt that a parent meeting would stir things back up unnecessarily. It was felt that now that the “storm has passed”, that changes in the area of student behavior will occur in a more gradual manner.
