2011+PC+Portfolio+1+IDEAS

**List your ideas below.**
Ideas from Mrs. Kropp:
 * 1) **Green Team: We have a lot of waste at our school. Recycling, composting...everyone can and should do more. 2**
 * 2) __**Bullying: We have bullies at our school. We don't have a comprehensive policy on bullies.**__ **15**
 * 3) ** Cafeteria Time: The cafeteria is loud and has a lot disrespectful behavior. Kids wait for others to be quiet and time is lost from recess. **
 * 4) ** Cross Walk: Our cross walk signs are being stolen. The signs slow cars down and make students/teachers more visible .**
 * 5) __**Energy Waste: We have a lot of energy wasted at our school. We don't have a comprehensive policy on energy waste, and we could possibly earn money back from the district the more energy we save.**__ **18**

Ideas from Mr. Bentley:
 * 1) **DonorsChoose.org: We have had classroom supply budgets cut, but we still need things. Why not have the EGUSD adopt a policy that helps teachers to post project requests on DonorsChoose.org and add a link to the EGUSD homepage.** **8**

Ideas from Students:
 * 1) ** Elk Grove has no special "thing" to set it apart. **
 * 2) ** Lowering the voting age to the driving age. (Perhaps after March off-track time.) **
 * 3) ** Raising the smoking age to the drinking age. (Perhaps after March off-track time.) **
 * 4) __**Backpacks are too heavy. 20**__
 * 5) **Not enough programs (i.e. extracurricular sports, art, etc.) 10**
 * 6) Not enough animal shelterrs.
 * 7) **Our school's water fountains don't taste good and are dirty are are sometimes broken. 13**
