MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY: OCTOBER 25,2014
CYCLONES MADE A DIFFERENCE AT THE FOOD BANK WITH COMPASSIONATE OKLAHOMANS
MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAYS: STUDENTS AGAINST HUNGER-CASADY CANS DUE STORY
Students Against Hunger
-Report of 1st October YAC Meeting: 10/14 Meeting on Food Drive: Mrs Crossno gave an inspirational speech ABOUT THE OKLAHOMA STANDARD- She related the story of a firefighter from NYC who came to OKC to help with the bombing disaster with $20 in his pocket and left with the $20 in this pocket because the kindness and generosity of Oklahomans did not allow him to spend a penny on anything he needed. That firefighter died on September 11.
Mrs. Crossno suggested having a concrete goal and constant reminders. Aubrey, Turner, Yogaish, Johnny and Miranda were members of the E-board present. No senior leadership present despite having called the meeting.
- Monday After chapel 10/20 meeting report (E-board): Mrs. Crossno gave her inspirational speech, "the Oklahoma Standard".
Jessica and Sidney were present and opened the quick meeting
-Tuesday 10/21 Chapel Food Bank Speaker feedback: Good speech. Thank you to Kira and Yogaish for introducing the Food Drive and the Food Bank speaker at chapel on October 21.

“There has been a lot of talk about the ‘Oklahoma Standard’ of dealing with disasters, and this community is responsible for setting that standard. We knew all along what kind of people we served and have always been proud to serve them. Now, the rest of the nation and the world know they are the best.”
Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building Bombing
April 19, 1995 Final Report
The Oklahoma Standard Get Red Dirt Ready
The “Oklahoma Standard” was born in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City Bombing. In April 1995, Oklahomans dropped everything to assist their friends and neighbors, coworkers and strangers. The response following the blast can only be described as amazing.
First responders from across the state and nation converged in downtown Oklahoma City to rescue the living and then honorably recover the victims. Citizens lined up in record numbers to donate blood. Any call for supplies was answered without question or hesitation in overwhelming numbers.
The Oklahoma Standard continues to be the benchmark against which all efforts are measured. It is a high standard we expect to meet and Oklahomans are always up to the challenge.

Letter sent to administrators for final revision for the Courier Written by Sara with first draft from Mariam)
Students Against Hunger-"Casady Cans Due" needs your help to succeed. I look at the statistics and see that it is not uncommon for people who live in our city to be struggling with hunger. Our state is among the 10 hungriest in the nation. Our Regional Food Bank feeds 110,000 hungry Oklahomans every week. We can change that though.
This year's food drive can establish the Casady standard that every member of our community brings 30 cans each. If every student brings a mere 6 cans a day, we will collect over 26,000 cans. Can you imagine what we CAN do? I CAN.
The most needed non-perishable food donations are canned meats, soups, sauces, canned beans, brown rice, pasta, canned fruits and vegetables, and peanut butter. Also $1 can provide up to five meals. Make checks payable to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, Casady Food Drive.
Collection boxes will be clearly present and easily accessible in each division from Friday October 31st to Friday November 7th.
Together, we CAN set the new Casady standard.

YAC ACTING IN THE COMMUNITY IN OCTOBER
10/14/2014 and 10/17/2014 Meetings resulted in YAC taking action in three areas of service
a. Rainbow Fleet rainbowfleet.org YAC Executive Board members volunteered cleaning toys and making packets for upcoming fundraiser from 10-noon on Saturday, October 18, 2014, at the Rainbow Fleet Resource Center @ 3024 Paseo, rainbowfleet.org.
Casady Service-Learning and YAC were able to sponsor 3 daycare centers thanks to the generosity of the Rainbolt Family Service-Learning Fund, Aubrey's family donation, and Aubrey's vision to bring this wonderful organization as one of the main organizations sponsored by YAC this year.
Rainbow Fleet is a YAC Junior Class project. The project focuses on building self-esteem in children. Project leader Aubrey H. stated " Rainbow Fleet's Resource Center provides toys and educational materials to child care providers in the greater Oklahoma City community.The materials that the Center provides teach infants and children fine motor skills, literacy, counting, science, etc. Working with Rainbow Fleet and volunteering in the Resource Center was an amazing opportunity! Rainbow Fleet does an amazing job nominating needy child care centers to receive memberships to the Resource Center. Every child care center that is a member of the Resource Center greatly benefits from the toys and educational materials provided to them. Rainbow Fleet is paving the roads for the future of our community by building strong minds and bodies in infants and children. I am so happy that I had the opportunity to work with this great organization!"
Casady Service-Learning also bought a membership for resources to be shared with clubs and classes like beginning level language classes.

Great activities for the food drive from the Food Bank:

The Food Drive is a freshman project with guidance and support from the Executive Board and the whole YAC membership.
The senior leadership has divided the freshmen class in different groups under the support of members of the Executive Board. Students helping the Food Drive in other divisions need to be back in class on time. Minimum of 5 people per shift. At least one member of each shift should have first hour off to help count cans after morning donations are finished.
Mrs. Crossno attended the Friday meeting and offered to have time in her class to help the freshman organize their first project.
Mrs. Crossno called for inspiring students to give without outside incentives.
Ideas proposed
a. # 30/30
b. Use social media motivational devises and daily reminders
Mrs. Clay shared what other classes had done in the past and requested consideration of applying the service learning tenants to the organization of this project.
