Projects

“Love Yourself: Positivity Poster Project”

The main goal of the Positivity Poster Project was to promote self-love by exposing the entire school to positive affirmations. Our catch phrase was, “Say something positive and you’ll see something positive.” We wanted to create a positive campus culture for staff and students. In February we always celebrate Random Acts of Kindness. This year we wanted to teach the students that is also important to be kind to ourselves and that the way we speak to ourselves matters. Student Council members picked the color of construction paper they wanted and chose 2 affirmations from a list of 101. Students created posters with the affirmations and hung them around the school. For the lower grade students who are just learning to read, we encouraged teachers to read them to students and have them repeat them.        

“Student Council Lead, Meet, and Greet”

The main goal of the Student Council Lead, Meet and Greet was to give Student Council officers and members an opportunity to lead an event, introduce themselves and explain the purpose of Student Council to parents and staff. Student Council sponsors created a google slide show that introduced officers and members, and explained the goals of the council. Invitations were sent to parents and staff. In the past, the advisors did the majority of the speaking. This year, we turned over the leaderhsip to students and they led the entire event. Sponsors sat in the audience. On the designated date, Student Council officers and members read the slides and presented the information. After the presenation officers led a Get to Know You Bingo and that concluded our event.
