Formal Welcome
I would first like to start off by formally welcoming everyone to the wikispace. Although Marist has been tenative to this trend, they have finally decided to relinquish their misgivings and venture into the wide and scary world of the internet. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. The wonderful Mrs. Paul and Mrs. Zimmermann decided to lead us to this new frontier for one reason, and one reason only (so that we could have one central location where we could compile our thoughts and they could give their input and guidance). media type="custom" key="2378315"

 ==About our Group ==

Due to the absence of the most beloved Mrs. Paul, our meeting was run purely by the Peer Leaders in our group and took place in the office of Fr. Walls, located in Campus Ministry. Our activity has been planned, and the game plan has been set. Egen is working on the flyer and will have that to Mrs. Paul by Friday, October 10, 2008. The aforementioned flyer will be mailed to each of the kids and they will also (maybe) receive a save the date/reminder flyer in homeroom, unless it is received via "Snail Mail." Overall: the meeting was successful and efficient <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'">

<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'">

<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'">How to Proceed
with peer kids over the course of the YearAdvice—as given by Mrs. Paul in aforesaid meeting <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'"> <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'">1. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'">Keep in touch and Check in: call or talk to kids after school, before school, whenever it can be fit in <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'">2. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'">Be journalistic: dig to the root of the story, everyone of us has bit of journalist in us, we just have to find him/her; ask deeper questions than: How did your day go?—if one asks this, one will be lied to through the diplomatic use of the word fine; if one is unsure of what to ask, consult another peer leader, or ask Mrs. Paul or Mrs. Zimmermann for guidance <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'">3. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'">Remember Important dates: be prepared, important dates (i.e.: birthdays) can come up quickly <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'">4. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Copperplate Gothic Light','sans-serif'">Remind kids to remember important dates: call before important dates (i.e.: out of uniform days, yellow shirt Thursdays, early starts, odd schedule days, football games, pep rallies, all school events, dances, plays, etc…); make sure your kids know and remember these important dates, if they are not assimilating, try to get them to go to some of these events (great way to meet people and gain school spirit)

If the peer kid is a girl, they will be riding with Peer leaders who have had their 6 months (unless previously discussed) to Egen’s house, and if the peer kid is a boy, they will be riding under the same circumstances to Ted’s house. Activities will be planned and all peer leaders will split the cost of necessary items for the night. Pickup will be between 9 and 10 because it is a teacher workday, not a “parents off from workday.”
