Winter supply drive.....

Hello everyone!

Student council will be hosting a winter supply drive at RHS! Come and join us help our friends in need! Donate your unused coats, jackets, hats, gloves, scarves, earmuffs, and anything useful for the harsh winters.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!

Well, so far Student Council started off with a successful year. Of course we don't have a lot of new members, but we can still manage. Since we don't have a Homecoming Dance this year, we substituted the event with a fall fest. There were more students than I have expected, and the principle was glad because of the outcome.

Quote of the Week, #3

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Quote of the Week, #1

Do not look for the spiritual flower every day. Sow the seed, water it with prayer and right endeavour. When it sprouts, take care of the plant, pulling out the weeds of doubt, indecision, and indifference that may spring up around it. Some morning you will suddenly behold your long- awaited spiritual flower of Realization.

By: Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, in a"Para-gram"

Quotes of the week for the summer!!!

Hi everyone,

Some of you may know already that I will be posting "Quote of the Week" posts starting on Sunday, June 20. Well, I will be posting them each week for the rest of the summer.

~Graduation~ (June 6, 2009)

Hi Everyone,
this is Elmar, Student Council Junior Class President......

Today, we officially say "FAREWELL" to our seniors of '09. From now on until next June, the Juniors, class of 2010, are to take the places of the seniors who just left. It was a cheerful yet tearful graduation ceremony, and there are more to come with the class of 2010 graduating next. As I would say, "Sayonara Senpai!!!" (japanese)

Student Council Award Ceremony

It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether
secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man
who does things.

By Theodore Roosevelt

With the final Student Council event of the 2008-09 school year, I provide this quote by a former U.S president to summarize our experiences as a council. From our past events (e.g Homecoming dance, plant a tree donations, marry-me booth, etc..) there were some students who thought they were going to be "lame" or "not their thing." However, Student Council worked very hard and made these events a success. Now that the seniors are leaving, the underclassmen will be responsible for keeping that hard work moving forward. And with our Final event, The Student Council Award Ceremony, the officers and members got their awards and the seniors said their farewells and recieved scholarships for college. The members and sponsors may change, but the council will always be the same.

P.s. I might be lectured tomorrow by the sponsors regarding grammatical mistakes that might appear in this post.

Flashback of previous SC events

Hello blogreaders.
This post is mainly to re-cap Student Council events for the 2009 winter-spring semester of school. A major event that we did took place today, it was the 8th grade High School Investigation day. However, the event also involved Link Crew, ROTC, and other clubs to promote our school to incoming freshmen. Before that, we had the school musical, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and sing most of the leads are SC members, it was an important event for us. Also, during the past week, we had teacher appreciation week. Unlike last year, this week was quite simple. And so, these are a few, major events that SC was involved in.
