Help please!

I am having a very difficult time getting the Girls Circle at Durango High School going.  I have met with Sarah St. John, school counselor, and Esther Belin, Native American Culture & Support teacher, on several occasions to speak about this group.  I have also met with the group itself three times, with most of the group only showing up twice.  The girls have not been bringing back their permission slips, and since I do not see them every day, I can not remind them. 

 Do you have any suggestions about motivating the faculty involved, as well as the students to get past the permission slips/initial steps to get this thing going?

Do you have any other suggestions about programs within Durango High School that might be able to work with a Girls Circle instead?

 Let me know, I need your input!

Thanks,

Kendra

Next meeting….

…will be in May.  Any ideas as far as days and times?

I need your input!

Hello everyone!  I hope this finds you well and enjoying the warm weather!  I just got back from my honeymoon in the Caribbean, so this warm weather has helped me adjust a little bit better!  Since I’ve been back, I have a couple of big projects I want to work on that are approaching very quickly. 

1.  I sent out an email about ideas for my Bayfield Girls Circle field trip.  Harlene (Dave) and Jenn sent me some great ideas…so thanks so much!  If anyone else has any ideas they would like to add, including a community service piece, let me know!

2.  I received an email from ADAD today telling me about National Alcohol Screening Day on April 5th.  I participated in this through Fort Lewis when I was a student there, and I think it is a wonderful idea!  While conducting online screenings is an option, I would like to hear your input on where a good location in our community would be (besides the college) to conduct this alcohol screening.  I would also need some volunteers to help with the screening. 

The screening does not need to take place on April 5th, though since April is Alcohol Awareness Month I’d prefer to do it some time next month.

What do you think?  Let me know!

 Thanks,

Kendra
