Student Council
submitted by Haley Allen for the October 2009 Newsletter

Student Council has been busy in September and October. They were involved with events such as the Education Foundation Dinner, Fall Forum at Liberty Eylau High School, Food Box contributions, AM Bucks Mud Volleyball Tournament, babysitting for PTA, morning announcements, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Volunteering for Debate and Volleyball tournaments at the high school, selling football programs, spirit weeks like twin day, recycling paper, and contributing to Hope’s closet. The Student Council served at the Education Foundation dinner. They were there when Mrs. Gillentine won her new Altima.

They also contributed to Food Box with canned foods they gathered at their meeting. Another event that StuCo participated in was a donation drive to Hope's Closet. Donations are still pouring in from the Spring Hill community. The final count on pounds of donations is growing.

Fall Forum was fun and exciting for Student Council as they learned how to become leaders of good character. Many Student Councils from other schools attended the event, and students were split into groups of students from other schools. They had a scavenger hunt together, and worked to win even though they didn’t know each other. They also participated in fun relays, but there was more to it than just games. All of the schools voted on a district project to build wells in Africa for the people with the difficulty of finding clean water.  A motivational speaker was invited to speak at the Forum and did a fabulous job reaching the students and teaching leadership skills.

The student council enjoyed getting muddy at the mud volleyball tournament that raised money for AMBUCS. Staying involved with volleyball, they volunteered to work two high school/junior high volleyball tournaments during October. The debate tournament that they worked at the high school was also fun.

The student council's most exciting project to date was the fun and fabulous fund raiser for our beloved Nancy Green, who is fighting breast cancer. Through the sale of "GREEN" shirts with her name on them, teachers paying to wear jeans, students paying to wear shorts, and donations they were able to raise $2300.00 in less than a week, and donations continue to come in. All Spring Hill campuses participated in the fundraiser. On Wednesday, October, 14, at 7:30 am students and faculty from all campuses surprised Ms. Green in the high school library in our shirts and presented her with her check. Local newspaper and television stations were present. The tears flowed. It was a priceless moment for all involved. Ms. Green seems truly touched and appreciative. We continue to pray for strength and healing for Ms. Green.

Another exciting project that Student Council is working on is a paper recycling program at the high school. Stucco has partnered with PTA to gather paper to be recycled at East Texas Shredding. Colleen Helton gathers paper daily from classrooms and combines it in large receptacles. Then Kyle Akin and Logan Wallis drive the paper to the shredding company where it is shredded and recycled. There is currently no recycle company that will come to schools in East Texas, so StuCo is thankful that East Texas Shredding is working with them on this project.

The Student Council continues to work hard in helping with the community and inside the school. Upcoming events include Red Ribbon Week, and the traditional Fall Festival.

Before school even started, the Student Council at Spring Hill High School had already started working hard for the upcoming year. Every grade had a workshop for their committee, including various meetings for the executive officers; President- Carlee Wood, Vice President- Rachel Baker, Secretary- Dylin Moran, Treasurer- Gary Duncan, and Historian- Haley Allen. Each age group, freshman through seniors, worked hard in their summer workshops to come up with ideas for their committees; Freshman- Community Service, Sophomores- Energy and Environment, Juniors- DrugsAlcoholSafetyHealth, and Seniors-Pride and Patriotism .  They planned numerous events for the upcoming year, which included some events that will be repeated from last year. They will devote certain Monday mornings to meetings before school and will have a certain amount of hours to devote to the community or Spring Hill. The following upcoming events are: gift exchanges with other student councils, passing out programs at the rest of the home football games, the AMBucks Mud Volleyball Tournament on October 4, babysitting at the Primary Campus, a supply drive for Hope's Closet, motiviational announcements each day, and assisting with homecoming and spirit weeks.  This year will keep members of the Student Council busy. However, they are excited to work hard for their school and the community the way young leaders should.
