I challenge you to find students as dedicated as the ones at my high school. I co-advise my building's student council, made up of a core group of volunteers in grades 9-12 who want to make a difference in our school building and in the district. Our major responsibility is organizing our yearly homecoming events like field day, the pep rally, and the community parade. But that was not enough of a challenge for these students.
Members of our school's student council want to do more for our school and our community.
Two years ago we took over the duty of hosting two annual blood drives, and we started a formal wear closet for students in need of gowns or suits for school dances like junior prom and senior ball. Still, student council members were looking to do more for our school and community.
My Project
The volunteers in student council want to increase school spirit and morale by offering freshly popped popcorn to students at the end of the school day. The sounds and smells of popping popcorn puts us in a good mood, and we anticipate that a bag of this healthy and tasty treat will do the same for our student body.
Not only will the promise of some crunchy popcorn give students something to look forward to at the end of the day, but leaving the building with this snack will possibly prevent them from overeating sugary vending machine foods and energy drinks as they wait for dinner.
Please consider helping us to increase school spirit and give students a healthy snack at the end of the school day.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
