I really appreciate the hard work that was put into it. I want to especially thank our academy Vice-Principal for the hay ride that he put together for us and a thank you to the S.A. Co-Sponsor and her Home Economics class for providing the food for the event. I look forward to future S.A. events."<br /><br />###<br /><br />November 11, 2007<br /><br />Yesterday, the President returned from the Atlantic Union Bible Conference at Camp Winnekeag. He commented today on the Bible Conference and his spiritual vision for Pine Tree Academy in addition to last Thursday's passage of the Constitutional Amendments:<br /><br />"I am pleased to see that the Student Association recognized the need to pass the desperately needed amendments to the Student Association Constitution last Thursday. It is my duty to now enforce the will of the S.A. and see to it that the amendments are attached to the Constitution. A copy will be inserted into the S.A. minutes for archival purposes and a copy will also be given to Student Association Sponsors Emeriti who have requested copies.<br /><br />"I also wish to brief the Association on the Bible Conference's focus on prayer and what I have directed the S.A. Pastor, Chairman of the Spiritual Activities Committee, to accomplish for the student body.<br /><br />"In the Bible Conference, we were directed to have a personal prayer life with God, to be a light to our peers at school, and to share with our schools the valuable lessons learned. I was inspired to make these truths accessible to Pine Tree Academy's students. I have encouraged the Spiritual Activities Committee to address the ways in which this goal can be accomplished, possibly giving a series of talks during some of the vespers services being scheduled."<br /><br />###<br /><br />November 20, 2007<br /><br />The President commented on today's Student Association Executive Committee Meeting:<br /><br />"My fellow students, today's meeting addressed the issues of entertainment at the Winter Banquet. It was resolved that we should have a game of dradle and chocolate coins, having Christmas music in the background, putting on a karaoke contest, and more. We hope that you will come to the Winter Banquet this December 2."<br /><br />###<br /><br />December 3, 2008<br /><br />The President commented today on yesterday's Winter Banquet:<br /><br />"I want to thank the members of the Student Association for their attendance at the Winter Banquet. We had a fun time eating the delectable Chinese food, playing with dradles and chocolate coins, and playing with the karaoke machine provided by the Guys Athletic Director. None of this could be possible without our S.A. officers."<br /><br />###<br /><br />December 27, 2008<br /><br />"Dear Pine Tree Students and Teacher,<br /><br />"I hope all is going well during your Christmas Break. I know that I<br />have really enjoyed spending time with family. In this Christmas season, let us not forget Jesus Christ, the true reason for the season.<br /><br />"Sincerely,<br />[The President]"<br /><br />###<br /><br />February 21, 2008<br /><br />The President reflected upon the events that took place at the Winter Field Day (January 29):<br /><br />"Almost a month after the Winter Field Day, I feel compelled to offer a recapitulation of the events and to show my appreciation to all those involved.<br /><br />"Winter Field Day was definitely enjoyable with nice weather and well executed events. These activities were steal the bacon, tug-of-war, a modified version of tag, dog sled racing, and witnessing the senior class's sled going down the Pine Tree's sledding hill. Many thanks go to the Athletic Directors, especially the Guys' Athletic Director for doing a lot of work during the absence of the Girls' Athletic Director. Our science teacher should also be acknowledged for teaching us the rules of the modified version of tag. Our Sponsor and Co-Sponsor made this event possible by placing it in the school calendar and by assisting me in passing out hot drinks, respectively."<br /><br />###<br /><br />March 1, 2008<br /><br />Today, the President sent out the following e-mail to Pine Tree Academy students:<br /><br />"Dear Students,<br /><br />"As you know, the Pine Tree Academy constituency decided to include a<br />$70,000.00 line item in order to balance their budget and save the<br />removal of one Full-Time Equivalent (or FTE). This action was taken<br />February 25. At this meeting, I introduced the following 7-point<br />plan:<br /><br />"'A Plan to Place Pine Tree Academy on a Permanent Path to Financial Security<br /><br /><br />"'Phase 1: Recruitment/Public Relations blitz by small choir traveling to<br />former constituent churches in conjunction with sermons re:<br />Adventist education<br /><br />"'Phase 2: Executive board and school administration proposing to former<br />constituent churches the prospect of resuming their status<br /><br />"'Phase 3: Bulletin advertising and notices of PTA happenings sent out to all<br />NH and ME churches, respectively<br /><br />"'Phase 4: Invite the media to come for Music Clinic to cover the event<br /><br />"'Phase 5: Newspaper advertisements in Sun Journal and Maine Sunday<br />Telegram<br /><br />"'Phase 6: Phase 1 expanded into a greater geographical radius<br /><br />"'Phase 7: Adopt Forest Lake Academy's "Adventist Education for the 21st<br />Century", making a Pine Tree education accessible to more of the<br />NNEC and country via ITV satellite locations'<br /><br />"In order to execute Phase 1, I will need your help. I am forming a<br />small choir that will aid the school in its recruiting of students and<br />its public relations efforts in former constituent churches. If you<br />are interested in joining such an endeavor, please indicate so via<br />e-mail, in person, etc.<br /><br />"Sincerely,<br />------<br />President of the Student Association"<br /><br />###<br /><br />March 29, 2008<br /><br />Today, the President commented on some of the events that took place in the month of March and some events to come.<br /><br />"I would first like to thank the Cultural Secretary for her work in being in charge of Pine Tree Academy's students visiting Lewiston/Auburn's Public Theatre.<br /><br />"Last Monday, the following Student Association report was read at the school board in my absence:<br /><br />"<p align="center"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;" ><b>"'STUDENT ASSOCIATION REPORT</b></span><br /></p> <p align="center"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;" >"'March 24, 2008</span><br /><br /></p> <p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >"'Dear Members of the Board,</span><br /></p> <p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >"'Two main events have occurred or have developed since I last addressed this assembly. The first is the trip organized by the Student Association for the Academy students to Lewiston’s Public Theatre. The second, and the one I wish to expound on, is my formation of a small choir to recruit and do public relations for Pine Tree Academy in the former constituent churches.</span><br /></p> <p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >"'Last month, the constituency had to make a difficult choice, whether to go along with the school’s Finance Committee recommendation or to turn down the proposition and instead raise the needed money to balance the budget. It was there that I introduced “A Plan to Place Pine Tree Academy on a Permanent Path to Financial Security”. Phase 1 of this plan was “Recruitment/public relations blitz by a small choir traveling to former constituent churches in conjunction with sermons about Adventist education”. As promised, I have written a report to specify the progress made in meeting this goal.</span><br /></p> <p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >"'The small choir is going to meet for the first time this Wednesday at lunchtime in the chapel. Thus far, we have the following people participating in this endeavor: SA Secretary, Gentleman from the Senior Class, SA Cultural Secretary, SA Social Secretary, and Gentle-lady from the Junior Class. Our faculty sponsor is the Religion Teacher. I solicit your prayers as we begin to establish ourselves and in our performance at various churches.</span><br /></p> <p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >"'I will continue to keep the Board posted as new developments occur.</span><br /></p> <p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >"'Respectfully submitted,</span><br /><br /></p> <p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >"'------</span></p> <p><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" >"'President of the Student Association</span>'</p><p><br><br>"Also during this week, the small choir I have been announcing was formed.

More participants are needed. You also know that our chapel<br />services lack music. Therefore, I propose a fusion of efforts by<br />those currently involved in the small choir and of the Student<br />Association Executive Committee through the formation of a Religious<br />Activities Subcommittee on Chapel Music and Small Choir. We need to<br />recruit more participants. I know that there is talent in our Student<br />Association that is not being utilized. That is why my proposition is<br />that the small choir continue with added support by such a committee<br />composed by the following members:<br /><br />"'------, Chair<br />SA Girls Athletic Director<br />SA Social Secretary<br />Gentle-lady from the Junior Class<br />SA Cultural Secretary<br />SA Secretary<br />SA Pastor<br />Religion Teacher<br />Principal, Ex-officio<br /><br />"'We will meet on Wednesday at lunchtime in the chapel.<br /><br />"'Sincerely,<br /><br />"'------<br />"'President of the Student Association'"<br /><br />###Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301417856929577043.post-66558500911667786322008-03-01T14:57:00.000-08:002014-08-16T12:51:17.922-07:00SA Constitution<div style="margin: 1ex;">
