My Students

The Pep Club is made up of approximately 20 students, ranging from grades nine through twelve. Students meet every week under my supervision at which time they discuss and create ways in which to express and promote school pride and spirit.

My Project

The Pep Club is an organization of students designed to celebrate and spread school spirit. Members of the committee are responsible for promoting, participating, and assisting in various school activities. Committee members work together to promote school spirit by decorating, preparing for, and attending a variety of school activities such as games, spirit weeks, dances, and more.

The Pep Club's overall goal is to create an atmosphere that is bright, lively and enjoyable for both staff and students.

Projects such as this allows students to express their creativity, imagination and artistic ability. The Pep Club will be able to preserve these creations through the use of a laminator. Lamination will also allow us to wipe down these decoration for health and safety reasons. Students are able to do something they love while contributing to and celebrating the success of their peers responsibly.
