-Kristi was only one that attended, Winthrop talked about the actions they had taken. Had taken surveys to assess the percentages. Kristi feels the program would probably not ave that much support among students at the school. Thinks maybe action in middle school would be better. Some senate members felt that a No drinking and driving may be a more time-worthy cause. Wellness committee is getting some sign notify the zero tolerance of drugs on the premises. The forum also got the community involved to help with the cause. We will discuss this more next year.

Dylan and Natasha both attended this trip. They all shadowed kids and saw how standards affected their classrooms. Found out that standards will help troubling students by allowing success.
