Meeting – November 25, 2008

Mr. Margolis talked about the group coming from the States (Utah.) We are planning a barbeque at Wescott’s house on January 12 (Monday – day1). We want to leave school at 1:00 to go to kibbutz Sdot Yam (my house) to have a barbeque, tour of the kibbutz and lecture given by Rami Tsadok – maring biologist, environmental advocate. We will travel together by school van or bus to the kibbutz and return to the school maybe by 6 or 7.

We also had an idea to take a trip on Saturday, January 17 with this group of students from Utah. Travel north to see an organic kibbutz and hear what they have to offer.

Other trip ideas: We have a 2 day trip planned (on the calendar) in March. You guys should brainstorm ideas – what would you like to do for these 2 days (if anything.)


Loise spoke to the club about a possible joint project with the Spanish club. Loise will keep us posted of ideas for collaboration.

El Hanan and Connal are still working on the paper recycling boxes – by winter break each high school room will have a paper recycling box.

Bonnie continues to work with the earth boxes.

Compost box is full – box still needs to be painted – Shirin??? Bahia????

Daniella, Laura and Allie are making posters for the elementary school and will also go into the kindergarten classes to raise awareness of environmental issues.

Reina continues to give an ecology tip at each Monday morning meeting.

Margolis’ dream is that someone will take over the newsletter – writing about our club and what we are doing.
