Hi Everyone,

You Don't Want to Miss Out on This!

Hi Everyone,

Thank you to everyone who has submitted their service hours for the past year already.

For those who haven't yet, I would like to clarify a few things. This is not a competition where the award only goes to the person with the most hours. While DYC is submitting the hours, the awards are actually from a different, very well recognized organization. Trust me, you want one of these awards!

There are actually two different award types. Group and Individual. DYC, as a group, is hoping to qualify for this special award, and everyone who has done the required number of hours can be counted towards this and will receive special recognition for being a part of the group.

There is also individual awards that can be given if higher levels of service have been completed throughout the year. Everyone who qualifies at the higher levels will get the awards.

BOTH will look great on your college application! Please, please, send in your service hours with DYC, and outside of DYC by tomorrow. You are all awesome, and we would love for everyone to be able to receive these awards!

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Gwendolyn

Service HoursAwards!

Hi Everyone, including advisors!

I am working on special recognition for the awards banquet based on service hours performed this past year.

This Tuesday, please bring a list of all service hours you have performed for the past year, with DYC and outside of DYC. Please group the hours by type of service. For instance, your list might look something like this:

DYC: 20 hours
American Cancer Society: 10 hours
Grace Lutheran Church: 10 hours

Please have your parents sign it as confirmation. (advisors don't need their parents signature.)

If you have any questions, please let me know. Except, I won't disclose the award, it is a surprise! :)


Thanks!
Gwendolyn

Congratulations are also in order to Brandon Smith who will be appointed as a Board Member to the Draper Community Foundation to represent the Draper Youth Council.

What's next?

ELECTION NIGHT: Tuesday, April 28th 5:45-6:45

Each candidate will be given 2:00 minutes to "campaign" and share why they are the person who can do the best job for the Youth Council. You can do a poster, flyer, treats, etc. Whatever you think will help you.

You can also make phone calls, send e-mails, texts, etc. this week to try to gain support.

The only limitations are to not spend more than $10.00 total and to not go over the time limit. Negative campaigning will not be allowed either-no trashing your opponents.

It will take some time to count the votes, so the results wil be posted on the blog later on, just like in a real election.

If you have questions, post them to the blog!

Quadruple amputee Kyle Maynard, a winning HS wrestler, will make his mixed martial arts debut.

Hey everyone,

I thought you might like to read this article. As you probably remember, Kyle Maynard was the motivational speaker we listened to at Legislature Day. He continues to make his dreams his reality!
