SERVICE

In Mother-tongue we have been working on sending out requests to the primary school to be able to get a program started with them, either with their mother tongues or teaching them ours. Though this interaction has not been initiated yet, we hope to hear back soon.
Meanwhile we have been busy with presentations within our group on possible teaching material and activities for the primary school, giving each other feedback and evaluating these presentations.

SAISA SWIMMING

The SAISA swimming team will travel to Chennai on october 29th. Our team has been improving a lot, especially due to the weekly swimming meets. It gives us a lot of experience with race styled swimming as well as improving our diving and flip turns.
I hope to be able to boost spirit within the team in the coming week and hopefully find new cheers for us to use at the event.

My times for this season are slower than last, but i am hoping to improve them throughout the next month.

SGA

The first SGA event we had was the Back to school Barbeque and the Back to school Movie Night. The SGA booth was a huge success, especially the coconuts. We ran out of stock for all drinks we were selling, coke, sprite, water, coconuts, all except the milos. Even though we did make a lot of money, I feel like we could have raised the prices a little more and still sold the same amount. As co-treasurer this is something that will help plan for the next event and be able to determine what we can do that will be most beneficial. 

Although not as many people attended the movie night as we wanted, the people who did go seemed to enjoy it a lot, there were more older people than younger people so that would also be a factor to keep in mind in planning. 

So far in SGA, we've had one spirit day, Nerd Day. A lot of people dressed up and hopefully we'll be able to advertise and popularize future spirit days even more. 

Mother-Tongue Literacy

Last session even though our faculty leader Mr. Mueller was not present, The other student leader and myself got together with the group to come up with an overall goal and statement that our group would try to follow. After listing some of our smaller goals and discussing possible activities we came up with the following statement


Mother-Tongue literacy:

"Using our mother-tongue languages we want to create more cultural awareness and diversity in our community through collaboration with a variety of activities and games"
