CADCA Convention
Kendall gave an update as to what she learned at the convention she attended in DC last week. Next month we are going to take the Strategic Prevention Framework process that she was taught and use it to identify the next project we want to take on.
Talent Show Update
We moved the talent show to February 26th due to weather. We will start practices on the 26th at 5:00PM to do sound checks. We will also have one practice on 2/24 for anyone that can make it from 3:30 to 5:30 in the forum.
We are doing a test texting right now but we would like to do text polling at the show and ask 4 prevention related questions.
We have more then half of our super hero’s identified and they are working on a skit.
North Cross Presentation
Seven of our youth went to North Cross on January 28th and presented to approximately 300 students and parents there. Feedback was positive and we have learned even more on how to improve for the future. One thing is to shut down bad questions quicker. We were looking to see when we can set dates for Fort Lewis, Glenvar Elem. 5th graders, Glen Cove and Mason’s Cove. There is a survey that has been sent to North Cross to see if we can get some more feedback from them.
