This would be a good way to reveal the Senior classes' talents and be a fun event to bring us together.
Research: Scout the Senior class for talents and find who is willing to participate. Would have to advertise for the event. Maybe do some research on what effect showcasing a talent has on a person's self-esteem/self-confidence.

A class to teach how to start a bullet journal and explain the benefits as a creative outlet for Type A organized students/people. Research based on articles that discuss extremely education-based, high achieving students' need for creative outlet. This would be a good way to do something that still feels productive and helps keep organized but still gives a bit of room for creative thought. Could also be targeted at free thinking artistic types who need more organization in their lives.

Ensure that elementary school students enrolled in after school Child Care are receiving enough quality time with their working parents
Research: Test at an elementary school in the CVUSD with willing participants to see if parents staying for an extra 10-15 minutes with their child after they have come to pick them up and hearing about their day, seeing what they've done, and/or listening to how they felt during the day is beneficial to the child and helps them feel better connected to their parents.
First Step: Researching how children in child care may develop differently than children with parents who pick them up right after school.

Project Idea: arrange and compose a variety of songs for the TOHS orchestra and band and put on a concert to display original music, likely best as a group project
Research: programs to use to write out music, possible openings in the civic arts plaza for bigger concert, ways to spark ideas and how successful composers got started
First step: Try to finish the composition first. It will probably take the longest so it would be best to complete when less busy. Then work on arrangements and rehearsals with the group to be prepared for the concert, which must be scheduled to avoid conflict with existing plans in either group

I watched Get Out and it was perfectly designed to convey a specific message in the same manner that a novel does.  Using intentionally placed scenes to build the viewer towards a point of realization the movie creates innuendos that make you work in order to decipher them.  While this movie is rated R and could not be showed at a high school without parental permission I believe that many movies are very capable of being included into the high school curriculum. If a movie was included in the high school reading material I believe that English as a course would feel more applicable to students and would be a significant step towards modernization.
Project Idea: write a proposal to CVUSD to include a movie in their approved literature list
