About the Project
Before COVID, our school had a very positive school climate and a close knit student community with great pride, spirit, and involvement. We have lost much of that due to the lack of activities outside of the classroom. This project will bring student leadership back into full bloom with the return of school rallies, spirit weeks, dances, sports days, charity drives, community service events, and competitions all of which will be initiated, planned, and participated in by the student leaders and student body. These events will promote and teach responsibility and self-reliance. In addition, they will promote ownership within the school and community.
