Discussion Notes:

How to: Create an atmosphere that facilitates friendship between the kids:

• Mervat: Help younger adults (Youth servants) become role models.
• Engage the young adults with the grades 4,5,6 to help grow the identity. For example, Friday night together and participate with the older youth in some activities within the church.
• Possibly mini retreat in one of the family homes. Give more opportunity for the younger kids to learn from the adults. Learning through example.
• Nelly: Create opportunity for SP Youth to get to know the younger kids well.
• Manal: Big Brother/Big Sister system. Prepare future leaders and role models. Older kids may modify their own behavior.
• Steve: May work remotely as well. 

How to: Foster an atmosphere of friendship within the same class?

• Marian: Give kids responsibilities in the class: Paper Handler, Attendance Taker, Cleaning before leaving, Garbage collector, distribute chairs, candy distribution, Jacket handling during winter, on zoom give job responsibility. Servants to create a chores list and distribute among classes.
• Manal: Give kids the responsibility of checking on each other - A buddy system within the class.
• Fiby: Engage some of the kids with the servants when they go Eftekad. Especially between groups who seem separate.
• Mervat: Why not get input from the kids their thoughts? How do we do this?
• Hossam: Create a schedule of events. Keraza through sports. Make it a habit that each year, there are specific repeatable activities.
• Nelly: Parent communications. Servants to meet with parents of each class on a regular basis. Ensure parents are on the same page. Also, capture undesired home behavior which may affect the kids.
• Marian: Give parents positive feedback on their kids which encourages the kids. Create relationship between servant and parents.
• Manal: Fostering the relationship with parents can also help grow the relationship between the kids of the same class. Outing including the parents.

Side Topic:

Number of servants per class - too many causes confusion and lack of ownership:

• Rotation Schedule? 
• If we rotate, what happens to the continuity of care and ownership?
• Rotating servants feel side-lined and don't participate much?

Steve: Consistency of servants attendance. Too many servants per class waters down the responsibility.

Manal: Need to create new services and re-distribute the servants between Sunday School and these services.
