Student Council Update

What We’ve Done and Will Do Dear Middle School Community, In the first half of the year, there have been a number of developments in regards to the Middle School Student Government (MSSG). Although only a number of products have been visible, the MSSG is continuing to make lasting progress through the creation of new proposals/policies, management structures, events, and projects to ensure efficient management and representation of the student body.

The MSSG has utilized new management strategies to increase efficiency and multi-task.

We have introduced committees to work on specific tasks all at once. This will not only allow us to focus on many aspects of student government work but also give representatives valuable work experience as committee leaders and members.

We have organized events such as the end of quarter Kahoot, house competitions, and the upcoming middle school Sports Day and Olympiad. Additionally, we are working on several fundraising initiatives including a dunk tank at the Festival of Love and an ice bucket dunk. The funds will be used for the implementation of house point reform where you will be able to redeem house points for rewards, which will be bought using the money raised. We hope to have this implemented by the end of this school year.

Changing school policy is one of our priorities, and there will soon be many proposals to the administration.

Thus, the MSSG has

implemented strategies to directly understand the needs of the student body through town halls and class discussions. Suitable ideas will be included when submitting several policy proposals in January but the MSSG is continuously working to create more solutions.

Our outlook for the next semester is optimistic but pragmatic. We believe that we can implement all our betterments and make the middle school an even more enjoyable place than before.

Happy New Year!

Cordially, The Middle School Student Government By: Burger, Vice President of the Middle School Student Government

Haunted House T

he Haunted House team started with a team of 4. That being Khaojao, William, Sybert, and myself, Title, as assigned by our hssg president, Lisa. I was very excited when we learned that we were making a haunted house.

We then started gathering people who wanted to contribute to the project. That includes Chin from Grade 12 who did a wonderful job making the haunted house for next year’s school build.

Chin and I pitched the idea of a funhouse theme which would turn creepy and scary. Since all 4 of us are part of the drama club known as “The Dramatizers Club”, we decided to kindly ask them to help contribute as the actors. I wanted my club members to be creative, so I gave them creative control for themselves with minor limitations. Pleng and Amy did a fantastic job as the ghost girls. Khao jao and Arthur did really well scaring the players at the start and finish.

Chin did a great job substituting roles. As well as Co-directing the actors. Sybert, who was working on the sound made a massive impact on the actors’ motivation as well as creating a scary looking environment for the players.

With this being my last academic year (Senior Year)I would like to thank my friends who helped contribute to the project and the HSSG for such a wonderful opportunity. I would also like to thank my club members and the actors, who shared a wonderful bond. Especially on the last day when we had a group picture. About a year ago, most of the actors had wonderful bonding moments in Oz The Musical. But this time, it is different, Chin, Khaojao, Arthur, Amy are added to the mix.

It was a well done activity which ran for 6 days.
