Student Senate Recap: Determination of Donations

Mira Bohannan Kumar, Copy & Opinion Editor

The Senate meeting on Wednesday, November 8 began with reports on committees. Referees have been obtained for the Powderbuff volleyball tournament, which will be held Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30. The Senate wants the student body to be more informed about this event. The Can Drive committee will be making posters and have decided to donate money.

There may be a loft going in the commons as part of an attempt to draw student socialization to the commons as opposed to the library. This also includes charging stations. The Senate voted to give funds to purchase a charging station for the commons; the others will be paid for by the district.

$1000 will be donated to charity organizations to aid in hurricane recovery efforts.

The Senate discussed goals for second trimester, including fundraising, publicity, exposure to ELL students, advisory meetings and listening posts, and club grants which must be publicized so as to help student groups who are in need of funding.

The Senate meets every Wednesday morning in room 3311 at 8:15 am. To learn more, contact Mr. Tygrett, the primary faculty advisor, or attend meetings, which are open to all students.
