Spring is shaping up to be eventful, as Student Council is packing in as many events as possible, according to Student Council president Maggie Yarosh.

Sno Daze did not draw as large of a crowd as expected, according to Yarosh. Because of this, Student Council hopes to raise more money for later events, including Prom, with these new events.

“We were a little bit low on attendance this year, and we still need to do more fundraising for Prom, which is why we’re doing these events,” Yarosh said. “We’re not totally sure what changed.”

Student Council adviser Sarah Lindenberg said the lack of revenue from Homecoming this year is still a concern, and with the lower attendance at Sno Daze, it does not hurt to plan these activities in the spring.

“We wanted to add a few more things in the spring,” Lindenberg said. “After Sno Daze there are usually not a lot of extra activities.”

The events include a raffle, where students can purchase tickets for $2 to $5 during lunch the week before spring break.

Possible prizes include a year-round reserved parking place, opportunities to  prank teachers such as duct taping a teacher to the wall and a free lunch from anywhere delivered by a Student Council member.

Student Council hosted an open forum March 14, allowing students to present their concerns to Student Council directly.

They ran the open forum to ensure every student feels like they have an input into the decisions made, according to Yarosh.

No students came to the forum Thursday, but Yarosh is planning to try the forum again in the future for those who wanted it.

“We had an idea as a group to have this open forum to have students come and have their ideas heard,” Yarosh said. “We’re holding this forum to listen to students opinions and hear their concerns.”

Freshman Miguel Ocampo said he was thinking of going to the open forum to express his ideas.

“It’s important that Student Council sees what other students think,” Ocampo said. “They might have something important to add.”

Lindenberg said Student Council members brought up feedback they heard from their classmates about things they wanted to discuss and possibly change.

“Student Council representatives realized that there was a need out there to hear from other student voices,” Lindenberg said.

After spring break, Student Council plans to hold an event called Mr. SLP. Male students would volunteer for the competition, including various categories, similar to a beauty pageant.

Junior Molly Mintz said she applauds the efforts of Student Council in planning these events as the school would benefit from some fun.

“A lot of girls would be interested in the Mr. SLP event,” Mintz said. “It will get them involved in school activities.”

The events will be judged by a panel including Yarosh and Student Council member senior Josh Kuether, along with Principal Joann Karetov and assistant principal Scott Meyers.

“We are still figuring out if it’s OK to have just guys be Mr. SLP,” Yarosh said. “We are working to get everyone involved and we will see if we can draw enough volunteers.”
