Projects

“Gym Cleanup”

Typically, all middle school students eat lunch in the gym and all participate in clean up. Our Student Council members decided they could show citizenship and service to their peers by doing all the cleaning of the gym for their peers, so they could enjoy an extended recess.   

“Easter Egg Assembly”

All Student Council members stayed after school one day to assemble and stuff over 1,200 Easter eggs for the our affiliate church’s Children’s Ministry Easter egg hunt. We provided pizza and drinks for the students, which helped create an atmosphere of teamwork and fellowship while they worked.     

“Homecoming Middle School Tailgate”

Student Council hosts a tailgate at our homecoming football game. We have tailgate food that is free of charge to middle school students, along with activities for any kids to enjoy such as a portable gaga ball pit and cornhole. We also sell homemade spirit shakers, hand clappers, snow cones, and spirit tattoos to fundraise for Student Council. We also have a braid and tinsel bar. Student Council members run all of the tables that are selling things.

“Pie in the Face Fundraiser”

Students (K-12) bought tickets for the chance to pie the teacher of their choice (from a panel of teachers) in the face at our winter sports pep rally. We chose one student from each grade to pie a teacher. Student Council members sold tickets at each division’s (Lower, Middle, and Upper) lunch period as well as at carpool. Our officers created a promo video and helped program the event at the pep rally.
