HOW TO HOLD YOUR MEETINGS

1. The President calls the meeting to order.

2. The Secretary is asked to read the minutes (notes) from the last meeting.

3. Discuss what kind of things your club would like to accomplish. What kinds of projects would you like to start?

a. Do you want to make your school a more positive place to learn?
b. What kind of problems do you see in your school?
c. How do you see your club working to make it better?
d. Do you feel the best place to start is with your own families?
e. Is your neighborhood the kind of place you would like it to be?
f. Is there something you feel you can do to make your neighborhood a better place to live?

4. After you have discussed many ideas, try to decide the most important project to work on first. Focus on ways to accomplish it.

5. Break down your project into several small projects. For example: Your project might be to spread care and kindness to your whole school.

If that would be your project, here are some ideas on how you could do that:

a. Start simply - go and talk with your teacher
b. Map out a plan for your classroom that will encourage each person to do an act of care & kindness each day for a week.
c. After that has been accomplished - go and talk with your principal.
d. Together with your principal, map out a plan to encourage care and kindness each day for a week to include the whole school
e. Think of other new ideas to increase your project:

  • Challenge classrooms to do acts of kindness for each other
  • Challenge each classroom to adopt a project in the community to spread care and kindness (nursing
    home, clean up the school, plant flowers in the community, etc.)

 

6. As you go to work on the small projects, report on them at each meeting.

7. Evaluate what you've accomplished. How are these small projects helping you towards the large project you decided on in Step #4 above.

8. When you feel that you have achieved a goal and completed a project, send a report on it to the S.A.C.K. Foundation. (This is the Secretary's responsibility!)
