Application Has Been Turned In

Last Wednesday, August 28, the application and packet for the GSA was submitted to the principal of the high school. Included in the packet was our constitution with 14 student signatures, the Articles of Association, bylaws, and the student letters written last Spring. The copies were on bright yellow paper (except for the constitution and signatures which was on rainbow paper) so the application would be easy to find. One of our faculty advisors said several years ago she helped students turn in applications to start a similar club by a different name, but the applications kept getting "misplaced" by administration and/or district. (The students gave up.) Hopefully, there are new people there now.

Last Wednesday was also the 50th Anniversary for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech. :)

May I randomly add that we have three official faculty advisors and two unofficial faculty advisors? We are so blessed!

The students were looking forward to participating in tonight's Club Tailgate to promote the GSA club. We can't, however, participate until the club is officially approved, which could take several weeks. Disappointing, I know, but I told the students this will give us time to be more prepared, to have ideas for meetings, a service project plan, etc. When we are official, we can present ourselves as an organized unit whereas right now we are kind of like, "Um, what do we do next?" which is what I'm constantly asking myself. LOL
