At this week’s ASSC meeting several items were brought up for discussion. It looks as though ASSC will have a busy few weeks coming up.
The first item discussed was a possible Asian Food Festival in the coming months. There would be three different types of food – Chinese, Thai and possibly Japanese. All of the proceeds would go to the charity Save the Children.
Students should be prepared for the upcoming tuition hike, which should start next semester. In order to help the student body continue to take classes, ASSC is looking into donating their leftover money to help buy books. As of now, it looks like they will donate half the money to the library to borrow books and half to the book rental program.
Everyone deserves a little bit of recognition sometimes. There is talk about starting a new teacher appreciation award. The proposal for this action item went as follows: a teacher hasn’t upgraded to the latest edition of their textbook within three years and the said teacher is exceptional at what they do. It looks as though the winner would be entitled to a dinner for two valued at $ 150, a plaque and a $ 1500 grant for their classroom.
Some upcoming events to be aware of: April 9th will be the Filipino desert festival May 1st and 3rd is the Filipino culture night Running club meets every Saturday at nine in the morning
