Photo Booth Backgrounds for Homecoming Theme Days

# data[].attributes.body
Our NEW Student Leadership class decided to create themed background out of butcher paper for each theme day of Homecoming Week and set up a PhotoBooth area in the cafeteria for students to take pictures in front of the backgrounds to post to the school Instagram.

It was so successful, the Counselors have asked us to create more backgrounds to do the Photo Booth during RRW!

We sell tickets for $5 each for students to get out of class (with passing grades in that class) to walk around the track or the campus with the SRO and the Principal for one class period.

All of the money collected from the sale of tickets was donated to the Susan G. Komen fund for Breast Cancer Research.  We have been able to donate $3,000 over two years of doing this project.

Hello week is geared towards students making new friends and getting to know one another better. Each day of the week has its own theme and each Stu-Co member is responsible for making a new friend and taking a selfie with them.

We sell gold chain links, gives facts about pediatric cancer, make goodie bags for the kids in children's hospital, sell gold shirts for the Gold Fight Win games, and host a large finale at the end of September football game.

Our Principal has tasked us with creating a campus wide committee made up of representatives from all clubs and sports. The goal is to increase student participation at events.

During any themed Dress Up week in your school year, make an effort to give out something to every student NOT dressed up in the theme that will help them be part of the dress up day!

For Camo Day we give out camo stickers.
For Western Day we give out bandana bracelets or “HOWDY!” Stickers.
For “Color” Out Days, we give out color beads or color Hawaiian Leis.

This way ALL students can participate in the theme days, even if they don’t have the attire to do so.

Student Council Makes Connections to ALL Students!

Our principal saw a need for staff morale and connection with students. She asked us to help booster clubs host their appreciation nights. Last night was the first one. We had about 20 teachers come to volleyball for snacks and to be honored. Football is planned for later this month.

Each day of the week we hand out positive notes to students and post signs.

Each day we put out a challenge. (Example: no make, be your best - dress your best, etc)

Our 9th grade Student Council put on a Halloween Carnival of sorts at our 9th grade campus.  The teachers dress up and give out candy from their classrooms for Trick or Treating, all campus clubs/organizations have a booth with a game in the cafeteria, StuCo has several small carnival games with prizes, Theater puts on a Haunted House, we have a costume contest by age group (Elem, JH, HS), and we get our entire campus to donate candy for the event.

Our teacher teams get very involved by decorating their hallways and dressing up with their families for the event.

The community is notified through social media and through flyers sent to all the elementary schools, and our StuCo kids run the entire event.

We do this without charging the community anything, except for concessions for snacks and drinks.

We send encouraging hand written notes to each freshman. Notes are delivered by office aids so they get something positive from the office.
