Ms. Zellars suggested February 25th for the SYC retreat to welcome new members. However, the
council requested the 24th for the retreat date.

Old Business

1. Calendar Update: Addition to the new calendar dates are as followed:
● Georgia and nearby colleges/university tours. Decided on a few colleges, but not yet
finalized.
● Operation Lunchbox: Packing lunch boxes for different counties so that the company
can be able to transport. SYC decided to complete the community service in
collaboration with FGE (Future Georgia Educators).

In Favor: Mikyla, Ari, Bryce, Simone, Zipporah
Oppose: None

February’s meeting. Pushing the date itself to March.
● Beautification: Beautification date for January and the following months have not been
announced, due to the absence of Chloe Hale. However, it will be planned.

New Business

1. Black History Month/Art Show: We needed a venue to host the art show during February. We
need some artists, a prize for the winner(s) (one big prize and two small ones), and food for us.
Date discussed for the event is February 18th, but the setting for the place is needed for
discussion. If approved, then the date is settled for the 18th.
2. Retreat (February 24th): Student lead, but requires adult supervision. Trey suggested an escape
room to build team building, also a beautification date for the 24th. Time is from 8 a.m to 6 p.m.

8:00-8:15 a.m: Arrival

8:15 - 8:45 a.m: Breakfast: Discussion of bylaws, introduction of Stockbridge, and code of
conduct..

8:45-9:15 a.m: Parent meeting in regards to the SYC.

During the time, SYC members will go to the escape room and bring back the students.
Icebreaker games, food is going to be decided. Information must be decided on my January 14th, 2023.
(Games, 2 Food Options, and Icebreaker games cost)

3. Interviews: The interviews did go well. However, Macy feels that the SYC should have been part
of the interview. However, if the SYC wants to be a part of the interview, among other things,
then their response to the SYAC is crucial and needs to be more immediate.

Closing Remarks
