Hey guys, just a few updates coming up!
Welcome back and Happy New Year!
In our January meeting we passed out t-shirts and talked about future dates. Club picture day is Jan.26, so make sure to bring your shirt. Second semester author visit is TBA. This semester we have many events, activities, and oppurtunities planned out, so stay tuned! Its that time of the year when its time to say goodbye to all of our seniors. I'm surprised that I hadn't shed a few tears of my own. I mentioned it in the video, but I have enjoyed serving as your secretary for the last two years. Its been a great experience and I have learned a lot.
Thank you for letting me be your secretary. I am honored to pass this prestigious title to Ms. Kerri Stephenson. Again, the seniors in this club will be missed. Their memories, their influence and their presence will always remain in the roots of Young Authors Club. Drumroll please *Abnoxious shaking of my desk until my lamp falls and a book hits me in the head* Your new YAC officers for 2017-2018 are President: Kyra Ehle Vice President: Leah Nelson Secretary: Kerri Stephenson I wish you all a great rest of the year. Good luck with finals and AP testing and have a FANTABULOUS summer Thanks guys! NGHS YAC Secretary Nida Merchant A tribute to our seniors: Hey guys!
We have decided to keep our last YAC meeting/party on May 9th from 2:30-3:15. Please remember to bring food. A list of food items that people have signed up for is on the last blog post. Please make plans on coming ESPECIALLY if you are a senior;) I have realized this is the last official post I will be posting on this website. I just gave Kerri the log in info so you can expect her awesome sauce creativity to show up on our website once my term is over. I hope to see you at our final meeting in the 2016-2017 school year. Thanks guys NGHS YAC Secretary Nida Merchant Hey guys!
Lets give an applause to our new 2017-2018 YAC Officers: President: Kyra Ehle Vice President: Leah Nelson Secretary: Kerri Stephenson Thank you to everyone that ran for a position. We truly had some great candidates and I hope your love for this club continues. With that being said, our party date is tentative to move to May 5th. The next update will confirm it. The following people have signed up to bring food to our YAC party: Kerri- plates Katie- cake balls Kyra- chips Isabelle- chips Sarah- soda Nida- cookies Clair- drinks Signing off for what seems like one of the last times Sincerely, NGHS YAC Secretary Nida Merchant Today, we are in March of 2017. I can hardly believe how quickly time is flying by. However, in all of the chaos of life and school, we often forget the small things that make us who we are. We forget to value each other.
The community of North Gwinnett is a family. And even though I did not know Shan personally, I know that many of you do. And I know how heartbreaking this time is for everybody. The severity of this topic makes us understand how delicate life truly is. YAC is keeping the Ramcharan's in our thoughts and prayers. **************************************** Last Thursday we had our first annual Open Mic Night where members had a chance to present some of their work. I think its safe to sat that the event was a SUCCESS!! Im so proud of our members. We had some truly amazing literature presented on the 23rd. I hope to see this tradition continue in upcoming years. 2017-2018 Officer elections will be held on April 11th. Everyone who was nominated for Secretary, VP and President will present a little speech telling members why you are the best candidate. More than the candidates, we need members there to VOTE for the best choice. Its a tough decision and we would like all of our members to have a say on who should be our officers. Thank you guys for being such amazing members. We truly appreciate all the effort you put into YAC. You make this club a success:) We hope to see you at our write-in this Tuesday (March 28th) Have a wonderful spring break We love all of you NGHS YAC Secretary Nida Merchant Hey writers!

Its that time of the year when new officers are elected for the new year. Dont get me wrong, I am SUPER excited about getting some new munchkins to help me make this club a success. However, my fellow officers are now 'retiring' (AKA: graduating) and leaving me here all alone. SO, Im looking for recruits!!

More information is in the flyer below. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected] and you can also contact current officers for a more personal interaction of expectations. Emails listed in the Contact page. On a side note: WE HAVE A NEW CLUB SPONSOR!! Ms. Tran is officially part of our YAC family. Welcome to the fam Ms. Tran (That rhymed... I humor myself) Thank you guys for being so amazing. We look forward to your nominations on the 14th! Thanks guys! NGHS YAC Secretary Nida Merchant:) Hey Writers! Next week is YAC week!

On Tuesday 2/28- 9th grade Night From 5:30-7:30, we will be having parents and students come to NGHS and learn about all the clubs and classes we have to offer. YAC will be there, but we need members to be there to help spread the word to future freshman and parents. This is also a club write-in day so if possible come in to help us set up stuff and write! It is extra important that you come to this event if you're interested in becoming a club officer. If you are coming, make sure you wear your club t-shirt on Tuesday rather than Monday because we will be representing our club then.

Each member must stop by Mrs. Deem's room and pick up 2 forms: transportation form and off campus activity form. Both forms are due by 2/28! 2. Understand that if you are attending this project, you will have to skip 7th period. Please talk to your teachers ahead of time and figure things out. 3. PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR OWN TRANSPORTATION!
