Senior Class Council Meeting #2

June 16th, 2016 at 7:30am

Agenda:

1. how to hype up the whole class?
   • As a class council member, we should dress up to encourage other people to do it.
   • Talking to people individually is probably better than mass emails, especially for those who don’t dress up
   • As seniors, it’s our last ride
   • Social Media accounts to remind the class
   • Class Canvas→  In a sense, we might need to have a class canvas, so we see the dress up days on the canvas calendar. We should also focus more about everything, rather than just the Valley Cup. For example, the crowd in sports teams.
   • We have to make sure the crowd isn’t out of handle in any sports events.
2. Valley Cup
   • there isn’t a lot of time to do all the Valley Cup events
   • only 4 Valley Cups a year, why can’t we extend the time period for the events?
   • People always try to leave during Valley Cup days.
   • The 6th period teacher should just bring them down to the class (if they let us do that).
   • sports events hype people up (don’t cut sports out of the Valley Cup)
   • An idea: Just a relay race with food.
   • We could ask for a crowd meter, so that the crowd participates in Valley Cup
   • A student vs. faculty is a really good crowd pleaser.
   • If all the teachers go all out, it would be so much better.
   • We should get a hype squad.
