Student Council is a powerhouse of leadership because it allows you to perform your best and use your creative mind to make your imagination come to life. The student council decorates the school depending on what theme of a dance or event, or even a holiday that’s coming up.
The Student Council works behind the scenes to make the event that’s coming up filled with decorations all around the school. At last year’s homecoming, they did outstanding work. They painted the stairs and decorated them, and walls they even decorated outside. On the day of the event, they set up a photo area and made even more decorations that made their place come to life. Their attention to detail and planning has such an impact on school life; they always plan an event when there are no sports games, club meetings, or any events outside of school. They also work hard to plan the themes and make sure everyone has a vote on what the theme shall be, and they plan out the days of dress up for spirit week leading up to the big events that come ahead. Samatha Thompson is a part of the Student Council team. She stated that, ”The most challenging part is when to start planning and making the decorations and also when the event is gonna take place.”
The Student Council wants to make sure everyone is engaged in school life and enjoying all the exciting events and activities that they have planned. They always try their best to make our lives at school the best they can be and they are great at doing it. They even allow us to take pictures with our Trojan mascot during the first or second lunch. This is such a fun little thing to do to be more engaged and known as a person and who you are.
If you are looking to be more engaged in school, life and you have ideas and creative thoughts in your head that you want other people to know about, joining the Student Council is a way to do so. It allows you to talk and pitch in your ideas. Decorating the school is not easy, but knowing how the finished product will be makes you keep pushing and looking forward to your ideas on the wall for people to appreciate and enjoy. The Student Council makes you believe in the phrase “If you put your mind to it, you can make it happen.” Student council is a way to grow and be a better person while making new connections with others. The Student Council goes around the school and asks the students what they would like to see or how they would like to be taught, or what can be changed to make the school a better environment. The Student Council thinks about you, your thoughts, your opinion, and your mindset. So, whatever your input is, they do their best to make the school seem like your second home.
Many believe being social and engaged in school life makes school way more exciting. It allows people to interact with each other and make new friends and connections with others. The Student Council helps with engaging everyone with all the things they do. They keep high energy and plan events that keep everyone engaged. If you are feeling creative and have your imagination stirring all around in your head, join Student Council so you can use that mind and make the school a better place.
