Hey Mrs. Hodge! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I have missed you over this long break. Nebraska was good..and I wish break was not coming to a end. I think our ideas about this community service project is great. We just need to finalize on a event  that we can do and start planning dates, location, etc. I will be going again to talk to the T-Shirt guy on Tuesday to finalize them and they should be done within two weeks or so..sound good? Is there things that I need to be doing, or that you would like Liberal Arts as a advisory group can be doing?? I hope you and your family are all doing good. See you tomorrrrrrow!  -CJ

Hello. So this past month was kind of slow up until the 8th grade open house, which was fantastic! Everyone was there on time, with great spirits and everyone was just awesome. For t-shirts, I still need Briana to draw the Tiger paw on a flat sheet of paper before I can further the T-shirts along, but I have talked with Gee-Teez and their just waiting on us! I think there will be a meeting next week, just thanking everyone for the open house and any new news thats going on.

See ya next week.

Hey blog. This week was quite busy. Monday, we made the agenda for the Wednesday November 5th LAAB meeting. The things we discussed were:

• T-Shirts: will finalize on the 11th but figured out colors and the company for which we will will get our T-Shirts. I am trying to find out when there is the Alumni meeting so we can ask for a grant to get our shirts started
• Mentoring/Tutoring: Laab members seem interested in starting a mentoring/tutoring after school thing. I think it would be a wonderful benefit to kids, especially freshman and sophmores.
• Shadows: We got a couple volunteers on LAAB board to come in on the mornings or the weeks that will be quite busy. 
• Open House: Need to make a sign up sheet with members that can for sure make it and will sign up for specific jobs at the open house (i.e Tours, stand by the sign, Auditorium etc.)

Our meeting was quite productive and our next meeting is this upcoming Tuesday November 11th, 2008. We will be finalizing on the tshirts and get all of those figured out. I will try and talk to with Dagny before the Tuesday meeting on what needs to happen before we start a tutoring group. I will also need to cut up the bookmarks and decide how we will be promoting the WIKI. Monday, I will need to make signs for the Tuesday meeting and we will need to figure a gift for the winner of the Tshirt contest! I will need to also make a agenda for the Tuesday meeting. OK CIAO!!!!!!

Hello BLOG!!



Welcome to The South High School Blog Site! This is the first official blog that i am going to be writing about. This year has been quite Hectic. I am so glad that I have this IP with Tanya Hodge. The IP is Leadership development. My title is Liberal Arts Student Coordinator.



First week of School: Got my IP forms signed and put together our FIRST LAAB meeting! Our meeting was scheduled for Tuesday September 23rd, 2008. We got alot of goodness out of it! Everyone had great ideas and everyones input was great! We decided that we are going to be having a Logo contest for all liberal arts students. the contest is for our Liberal Arts 2008-2009 Liberal Arts T-shirts!

We branstormed on ideas about mentoring and tutoring. I, personally want to have a tutoring area, say twice a week for the entire year. At our next meeting, We will discuss this. Shadowing begins In Novemeber. I will start making post weekly.

For this IP, my goals are to

• become a better leader.
• make 9th-12th grades come together more as a community.
• Make students feel like they can come to the Liberal Arts Coordinating office under any circumstances
• make Liberal Arts stronger as an SLC.

Along with myself, Mrs. Hodge, and the participants in Liberal Arts Advisory Board will all contribute to our 2008-2009 Liberal Arts goals

thats all for now...Bye Hodgeyyyy!
