  1. Business:

a. Trivia Night: January 27, 211 at Middle School Cafeteria

b. TA and RDF Project Ideas: 6th grade Meet and Greet (TA $1000). Two RDF’s ($500.00 available).

TREND 6th grade Meet and Greet. At the leadership conference the students that attended came up with a plan to have this event as 6th graders are the under classmen at the middle school and are nervous and lost. This is a good idea and will starting thinking further and plan this so it is held either before school or right at the beginning of school. TREND wants to have Tom Guy’s multi-media presentation as well as the Amazing Race that was held at the high school for the Owls Academy. The date of September 23rd was suggested. After talking with Ms. Marty from the high school who is going to be helping up with the Amazing Races told us that the following week is homecoming and it will start getting read crazy. So we bumped it up a week to September 16 which is better because it is the beginning of school. Linda will contact Dr. Rickermann about this event and get the go head and start planning. As soon as we get the go ahead will plan a meeting for the conference TREND kids and invite last years members to this planning meeting for the meet and greet. A TA grant through NCADA will be applied for ($1000) to cover expenses. It was also suggested that we partner with the MS Leadership Class on this event. Leadership Class is 8th hour in the annex building. It was also suggested that TREND offer some facts for weekly announcements that the leadership class is in charge of for the MS. Also, TREND has been trying to plan a pool party. Suggestion by Roger was the teamsters union park in Pevely, Val volunteered her back yard and pool, and also the Arnold Rec Center was discussed.

  1. Other discussion item: Cindy brought to our attention the $5000 mini-grant through NCADA and we need to be thinking about ideas for this.
