Projects

“Plant One Million Trees”

Student Council decided to fundraise to plant trees globally. They worked together with the Plant One Million Trees Foundation. They learned about the significant contribution to reforestation and habitat restoration which are crucial for biodiversity and combatting climate change. We met once a week to discuss what we could do to educate/inform and what activities we would plan in order to spread awareness. We were able to meet our goal of $50 and donate to the One Million Trees Project.      

“School Spirit Monthly Events”

The main goal of school spirit activities is to foster a sense of community among the students, staff and parents. The Student Council meets at the beginning of the school year to plan the monthly events for the year. We focus on selecting activities that promote school pride and community building while also helping students develop essential social-emotional learning (SEL) skills. Following our initial meeting, we hold weekly sessions to assign specific roles and responsibilities to each member for organizing the monthly events, including advertising and promotion. Some of the events include Character Day, Read Aloud About using the Hidden Figure Curriculum, giveaways, and contests.
