ASB Report: September upto Homecoming

Position Assessment:

September was a crazy busy month. As a renaissance and link brew coordinator, things

were pretty light but I did have a couple of assignments. We emailed and communicated with Mr.

Range and asked when would be a good time to meet with him regarding the renaissance

program, but we still haven’t heard back from him. Other than that, my team and I also chose the

students of the month for the month of september. We asked Mr. Felver for recommendations and

then we selected the two students he recommended. In the future we hope to go through the same

process just with a different teacher every month. After choosing two students for the month, I

interviewed them during lunch and we put together an announcement form and a publicity form

to be posted on instagram. Other than doing my job as a renaissance and link crew assistant, I

also helped out with the sophomore class homecoming. I was in charge of choreographing our

class lip sync. Gaby, Gia, and I met outside of school to choreograph the lip sync and we got it

done relatively fast. After we finished the routine, we set up a remind with everyone who signed

up to participate in the lip sync. The first order of business was to establish what outfits we were

going to wear. We decided on a white shirt paired with a golden skirt for the girls and all black

for the guys. We got this part done as fast as we could because we didn’t want anyone's outfits to

arrive late. And then we set up dates to meet up and practice. We practiced through multiple

lunches and it went very smoothly because most people showed up. And then we had one big

practice at my house on a saturday with everyone. We cleaned up all the moves and went over
formations and it went very well. Overall, this year's lip sync was much better than last year and

it was still hectic but it was so much more organized. I also helped the sophomore class officers

with decorating everything for homecoming. I spent countless hours with the other sophomores

at Claire's house decorating and prepping for homecoming. I was there everyday we decorated

and it ran very smoothly because Claire had everything organized. Overall, homecoming was a

real world wind and I tried to help with everything that I was able to and this year was definitely

one to remember.

Standing/Special Committees:

For homecoming, I was a part of several committees. The first one I was a part of was

coorantation committee. In this committee we made sure that all the details for the candidate

reveal rally and crowning ceremony were finalized. I tried my best to help with everything, but I

wasn’t able to do much because I was a part of powderpuff. The next committee I was a part of

was the lip sync committee. I was in charge of this committee along with Gaby and Gia. As I

mentioned before, we choreographed the entire dance as well as communicated with everyone

and coordinated their outfits. I am so glad that I was a part of this committee because dance is

my passion and even though this was a different style of dance, I still got to portray my passion

in Homecoming and it was really full. It was also a lot of work trying to manage 20 something

sophomores. I’m so glad that I had the help of my sophomore team and I couldn’t have asked for

a better group to work with. Along with those two, I was also part of all the decoration

committees that were involved with homecoming. I helped decorate the gym, the window, the

lemonade stand, and the float. These all took a lot of commitment and time but in the end,

everything turned out really cute.

Mentorship Evaluation:

Heaven has been such a great mentor buddy to have during this school year. This is my

first time being the mentor in the pairing and I’m trying my best to make sure that Heaven has

all the resources to be successful. I have been reminding her of everything that is due because of

everything crazy going on and I’m hoping that it is helpful. I have gotten to know Heaven more

and she is such a sweet and caring person. I am so proud of how she has been doing in her job

position, I always love seeing her out there running the rallies. I think that she is doing a terrific

job managing such an important job in leadership while being new and I hope she continues to

do amazing things!

Concens:

One concern I have with leadership is just the lack of everyone getting along. I feel like

there was definitely some tension between the class during homecoming. If we don’t get along

there is no way we can work together efficiently. There have been some issues involving people

not fulfilling all their responsibilities, and I hope that as we go forward through the year, these

issues will be resolved. As an entire class, we definitely need to work better together and

communicate with each other so we can minimize conflicts.

Positive Comment:

I would like to give my positive comment to Gia Grewal. Gia has worked so hard during

homecoming. She put in so much effort into everything like the lip sync, and decorating all items

for homecoming. On top of that she stayed incredibly organized and made sure that the

procedure form was in top shape. Her procedure form was incredibly detailed and she did not fail

to make sure that everything was mentioned in it. Throughout homecoming, she also sent

constant reminders everyday to make sure everyone was on top of their game. Along with that,
she was also a great help to me. I would always come back from games and I would be

exhausted and she would remind me of everything I had to get done. No one else has ever done

this for me and I don’t think that I would have made it through homecoming without her. She is

always so on top of everything and I am so grateful to have her in my life.

Change:

One change that I would like to see would be more efficiency in class from everyone in

leadership. Most people are working really hard on workdays to make sure that they get

everything done, but there are still some people that are wasting that valuable time that is given

to get stuff done. Also, I know we get a lot of work in leadership and on top of other classes, that

can be hard but we do get time in class to get these things done. I really hope that more people

start taking this time more seriously and getting work done. I personally am so grateful for this

time, because with sports and everything going on, I don’t get home until late at night and I

appreciate the time to get work done at school. I really hope that we don’t get work days taken

away and I hope everyone uses them wisely.

My Impact:

I always struggle with this section, but this time I am proud of what I did for my peers

and community. Being in charge of the lip sync was by far my favorite part of homecoming. I

was able to help get my peers involved while doing a dance that was fun and inclusive. I felt that

everyone shone in the dance and that everyone had fun. This also gave the parents something fun

to come out and watch. I had many parents come up to me and say how much the loved the

dance. I am so happy that I was able to give them something entertaining to watch. The support

at the lip sync from the student body was also so great. So many people showed up to come
support and cheer on our dances and I was so happy that I was able to contribute the the pride of

our student body.
