Leg Council Amendment Discussion

Hi everyone,

Thank you for listening to us during class today and providing great feedback. I know we didn't have enough time in class, so here's a blog post where you can make the rest of your point heard, or bring up something new.

For convenience, here is the general gist of the amendment:
- Leg reps are now recruited through sign ups with a minor screening process (to prove dedication)
- Ideally, leg reps would be assigned 2-4 homeroom classes to be in charge of. Once a week, the leg rep would alternate between their assigned rooms to relay information as well as get feedback from the students.
- If we do not meet the needed number of sign-ups in order to assign a max of 4 rooms to each rep, we will revert back to the old system (we will probably change this clause to include a broader range of scenarios in which the new system will fail)

When you comment, please make sure to keep in mind feasibility, as well as the probability that we will be able to find a way to implement changes you feel need to be made. Also, in addition to concerns you have, please try to also include ways we could possibly address these concerns in the new amendment.

We will come back on Monday with something we are all, hopefully, happier with!

AK Week Debrief

Hello friends!

Thank you so much for all of your help with AK week. Please comment on this debrief with pros/cons/suggestions for improvement, and try to hit the following points:

-Promo: Was it effective? Would a simple uniform profile picture be better?
-Events: As a reminder, the days were as follows: Pay it forward, Star posters, Cookie Grams (no events Thursday/Friday)
-Cookie Grams: Is it worth the effort? Would it be bad to charge? Is there a more effective way?
-Any other day suggestions?

THANK YOU!

Leg Council Feedback

As a followup to our discussion in class this week, we wanted to ask you guys for more feedback about the following questions:

1. How do we get people to become Leg reps and come to Leg meetings?

2. How do we elicit more feedback/action from Leg reps?

3. Suggestions for next year?

Some pieces of feedback from earlier:

-Somehow encourage teachers to allow Leg reps to speak, be supportive

-Fight stereotype of Leg unimportance vs. ASB as a whole

-Bring food to all meetings (we've brought to most, not all)

-Increase activity points for Leg

-Provide meaningful work (what constitutes meaningful work?)

-Half-year terms for reps

-Apparel for reps

Thanks!

Hearts Project 2015 Debrief

Please give your feedback on the following:
- Was the time put into cutting out and writing the hearts worth it? Or should we have paid VBE or some other organization to do it for us (what we voted against doing)?
- How was the organization and work done in class (including sorting, sending the hearts back to 3rd period classrooms)?
- How was set-up before school? (if applicable)
- How was lunch volunteer work? (for example, we probably didn't need nearly as many volunteers during lunch this year when compared to the last two)
- Should there be a Hearts Project 2016?? How should it be changed?
- Any other Comments (feel free to give your input from both the perspectives of a student "participant" and a leadership student working on the project)

Thanks!

Thank You Cards Debrief

Hi everyone,

Please give your feedback on the following things for the TY Cards project:
-Do you think that the manpower put into writing cards for everyone was worth it? Did the anonymous cards provide any value to the whole project/students themselves?
-How do you think we could have improved the entire process? To give some context, I thought of the idea in early November and tried to pull it off with the class in a month. But what about the writing/delivery?
-Was this project in line with the goal of being "catalysts for compassion"? Do you think we brought compassion to the student body?
-Should this project be continued next year? Maybe in another form?

It'd also be great if you could give some anecdotes about the project -- maybe some stories you've heard about it or anything else.

Thanks so much!

Amit, Kavya, Shivani, Sally, and the entire class

Norms/Expectations Discussion

Below is a slightly condensed/edited list of what we discussed in class today:

Expectations for Leadership
1. Working in Leadership -- That we always are on task in class and asking to assist other classmates/commissions when we can. Remembering every minute spent doing homework is a minute that we could have served the student body. Understanding that leadership is a team effort, and that we must come to compromises to function effectively. Completing leadership logs on time and with our 100% brutal honesty.
2. Knowing When/Where to Dissent - Knowing that it is alright to disagree with decisions made by your team, other commissions, or our class as a whole, and you have ways of showing your dissent --through blog posts and in class discussions. But this means also understanding that once we leave room 506, we are 200% in support of all Leadership decisions.
3. Working Through Issues - Remembering that when you are:

• Not having the time of your life in Leadership
• Unhappy with the way Leadership is being led
• Sad and need someone to talk to

you have a wealth of people around you -- be it Juliamit, ASBOs, seniors, Mrs. Badger or anyone -- who can help you work through issues. We all are here for one another.

4. Respecting and Understanding One Another - Respecting each other's opinions and backgrounds, be it different student groups or different lives entirely. Communicating with one another about what each commission is doing and being aware of class projects. Communicating with the school as a whole and always trying to understanding the viewpoints of the student body.

5. Pushing Forth our Vision - 

Vision Statement

1. Strive to reduce academic and personal stress in student body

2. Strive to increase involvement of all student groups in events and activities

3. Strive to instill a sense of pride in Lynbrook

4. Strive to develop relationships with the community

Always striving, as our vision statement clearly says, to work to improve our school community and its culture.

Questions for Us

As we set these norms and later talk about our values as a Leadership class, it's important we all first agree that this is what we'll do! Instead of having this post as just feedback, I'd love to see us respond to one another directly, comment to our heart's delight (I know some of us need it, cough A- cough), and really reflect upon what it means to be a part of Lynbrook's Leadership.

1. Are these expectations achievable? Do you think we should add some or take some out?

2. What specifically do some of these expectations look like? I'd LOVE to hear some situations this year where you think these expectations came/could have come in handy.

3. What do we do when these expectations are broken? How do we hold ourselves accountable?

Please respond by next Tuesday by the end of class. We can continue our discussion during block.

THANK YOU!

<3 Amit
