Hey guys! I hope you guys had fun at the author visit last week! He did a great job and he has agreed to come to one of our formal meetings in January!
However, its time to officially announce our new community project called "If you need (a)..." Here are the directions: Community project: “If you need (a) letters…” The Young Authors club will write letters, notes and stories for the students of North Gwinnett. Each letter will have a theme. Throughout the day, we will post these notes around the school and make a game out of it. Each student can either take the letter, give it to someone who might need it or paste it on the wall somewhere else in the school. Each member is asked to write 5 letters that fall under the following categories: “When you need a… smile, laugh, motivation, inspiration, friend and encouragement. They can be letters, tall tales, poems, short stories, and more. Contact the club officers for any further information. The following letters will be due in its respective folders after Thanksgiving break. Officers will give you more information about where to submit the letters during or after the break. We strongly recommend that you guys finish them by the end of Thanksgiving break. Here are the basic outlines for the letters: - between 5-200 words - font and format will be altered so please specify if you want some things to remain - no inappropriate/foul language (I think it goes without saying, but if you have a question ask yourself if you would write it on a college application.) - make sure your letters are casual and 'high school student' friendly. Remember we are writing to students, not filling out college applications! - make sure to follow topics listed above. The topic is broad so we give our members the leeway to spread to their writing capabilities. - make sure to finish it by the 9th of December and submit it to the google folder. (We will give you more info about that later.) We have not finalized the day we want to have our service project, but we are shooting for December since it will be in the frenzy of finals! Hope these rules helped clear out what our expectations are for the community project. **Please share this post with all YAC members!** Thanks guys! NGHS YAC Secretary Nida Merchant

Hey guys! Don't forget to come to the CLC during lunch to meet our fantabulous author, Mr. Mooney! Everybody is welcome and you can bring all your friends. Plus, we have pizza and a surprise from Mrs. Deem *wink*.
I hope to see you tomorrow! Thanks guys! NGHS YAC Secretary Nida Merchant P.S. WAIT! Mr. Mooney will be selling his books tomorrow as well so bring ten dollars to buy, sign, and meet the man behind the magic:) Usually when Im writing on the website, its usually in representation of Mrs. Deem, Aysha, Jenny and Tim.
But this time I'm gonna be a bit selfish and use this just for me. I really want to thank each and everyone of you for all the kind words y'all said in my time of trouble. I was shuffling through all the letters with tears in my eyes. I truly appreciate all of you guys. Things like this just remind me how lucky I am. When I came to NG as a freshman last year, I immediately joined YAC. Since then, this has been my family. And to all my new members, yall are equally as important. So thank you for making this club more like a family to me:) Anyways... enough with the mushy stuff. Here are the main slides from the meeting on the 1st:) Thanks guys! NGHS YAC Secretary Nida Merchant |
