Throughout the school day on December 19 (the day before Christmas Break), Student Council (STUCO) will host a field day for students to give back for the hard work they have put in this semester.
“The day is a celebration of a successful semester, increasing belonging, and the excitement around students being here at school,” Principal Dr. Ryan Nichols said.
STUCO put together a day full of fun activities for all students. A Christmas movie will be voted on by students to be hosted in the PAC. There will also be a dodgeball tournament throughout the day that students can participate in at any time. A silent disco will also be hosted, but will only be able to host only 500 students at a time.
“We feel like it’s important to be able to give back to kids and have some fun. We enjoy being here. We want them to enjoy being a part of what we’re doing,” Nichols said.
In light of these activities, no classes will be held on this day. However, students will meet in their first hour to beginning of the day to collect attendance and then leave to go to the different stations.
According to Inclusive Schools Network, “By engaging in a school-wide celebration, students have the opportunity to experience the power of working together as a community. Activities in this section reflect the importance of taking knowledge and skill to the next level – change within the system.”
Other events STUCO had that helped students enjoy the end of the semester was a freshman finals information session and game day before Thanksgiving break on Nov. 24-25.
As planning for this Christmas break field day continues, more information is still to come. Stay updated with STUCO to learn more.
