We are off to a great start!!!

Assembly Reflection

What went well from Friday's assembly.  Why do we think we experienced the kind of success that we saw from our first all school event.  What do we need to work on?  Some things we saw too.

Journal Work

Take a few minutes to write down a personal goal for yourself this year.  This is not a STUCO goal or an Oak Park Goal but a personal goal.  Once you have written down your goal...

1. Write down some action steps to take to achieve that goal
2. Email your goal and action steps to the person on the slip and CC yourself
3. We will follow up and check in on our partners in December

Setting Up our Committees

This year, we are going to try to spend some time setting up an app called Trello.  Trello's goal will be to help us stay connected and stay organized.  Once we have activated Trello, I want your committee to think about what events you would like to run for Homecoming.  Ultimately, our officers will decide what committees will be working on certain tasks.

Leadership Lock In

2019-2020 is underway!  The officers are off to a great start leading Student Council toward one of our best years yet.  Using ideas the officers learned in Fulton, they planned a night packed full of fun, excitement.

The night began with an old tradition spanned decades.  During our "Paint the Boots" event, we painted Norman's bootprints up the East Drive to make them look bright and sharp for all of the students coming back to school the next week!

The night continued with some team building activities that helped to bring us all closer together.  One of our focus goals this year is building a strong sense of community, we are on our way! Then, we had the chance to blow off some steam with Bubble Soccer!  Mr. Pabon and Mr. Edinger got some hits in, but I think that they also got a lot of bruises along with those hits.

We also were able to get a lot of planning done for our Freshmen Jumpstart Day.  The officers and the other leadership members came up with some great spirit posters, events, and chalked up sidewalks to welcome the class of 2023 in style.
