As leaders, Leslie and Mike make sure badge work is part of the activities the young people do at their meetings. In - Cubs, Leslie works through four badges each year and one star, a tougher badge .to earn which incorporates regular badge work and extra projects. That way, no one leaves without having earned a badge. While working on badges, Leslie has watched one shy girl, who could hardly make eye contact when she spoke to someone, get up in front of everyone and perform for an entertainer's badge. She said they are all proud of each other each time someone earns a badge. - w Andrew said working on all the badges was hard but it .was lots of fun.

May 25 to limit. attendance to two; while retaining a total of 10 student trustees who will vote to select the two "student representatives" and one alternate, - Superintendent Marjatta Longston told the board that only two of the current student trustees feel strongly about being able to speak at board meetings and to open it up to more student trustees, "might be forcing a role they don't want. But, several trustees spoke about regarding the two student representatives at the board as a minimum number or allowing the 10 student trustees t� Tdtate through the - two seats at the board table throughout the year. "Maybe there are some who don't feel comfortable speaking but that's their job," said trustee Colleen Schenk. "Let them step out of their comfort zone occasionally. That's a growth opportunity." She,added_ she thought it was "grossly unfair" to only allow two students to he the spokespeople for the group at the board. ' - Trustee Ahhy Armstrong said she wanted all 10 • student trustees at the board-. table at each meeting. • "i don't want.to force them but if they want to he here, let them be here. They havd good things to say." she said. Trustee Vicki Culbert agreed that all student trustees should hay.c an opportunity at the hoard table. Student trustee Karen Delvecchio told the board that current recommendation to the board . was a compromise formed after a meeting between two student trustees and administration but "more of i compromise on our -(student -triistcc-s' ) part. unfortunately." She told the board she would like to sec- every option explored before limiting the number to two student trustees per meeting. Student trustee Erin Doupe agreed that all 10 student trustees should be able to rotate in the role of student representative to the board: • "I don't think it's fair to. make an assumption based on our group. Next year, we may have 10 eager to speak." she said. Board chair Wendy Anderson said she thought the comment that student. trustees have given up more was "a little misleading." "I think the number of student .trustees here tonight is an indicator of how important it is in their lives," she said of the three student_ - trustees in attendance. ironically, a move to refer thc motion back to administration to rework the motion with two student representatives to the board as a minimum was thwarted by the student trustees themselves who said students , running in school. elections .. right now have to know what their role will be. "It's important that the decision be made here tonight," said Delvecchio.
