Dinuba High School
Event Description
Winter Wishes was an event put on by our advanced leadership class and ASB Students were given a QR code that gave them a survey to submit any wishes for themselves or a friend. We granted as many wishes as we could at our assembly all with money that we fundraised at football games. We purchased things as small as a bag of candy to as big as a stove.
How did you transition from plan to production of your event?
Weeks before we began to advertise this event by making posters, announcements in classrooms, and posting on our social media. We hung up posters all around campus with a big QR code making it easier for students to have access to our survey. Every person was assigned a wish to grant at the assembly and worked on a script to do on stage when granting the wish.
What challenges did you have to overcome for this event?
There were many challenges in the process of this event, one of them being that this took a lot of extra work/ time after school & during lunch. Being that many of us played sports and are involved in other extra curricular activities this was not easy

Winter Brunch

Concord High School
Event Description
Winter brunch is an event held by leadership for Special Education classes. We invite the classes for brunch, music, games and activities to celebrate the winter season together.
How did you transition form plan to production of your event?
This year’s winter brunch challenged the entire class to get involved. Prior to the event actives were planned based on past years and food was primarily donated. The passion in our class really shone on the day of the event. Everyone came together to decorate and set up before school. During the event, students cooked and served while other led dance parties and games.
What challenges did you have to overcome for this event?
The Happiness Campaign this year was troubled by a couple of problems. The committee itself quickly fell behind and the chairs were unable to show up to class. A combination of a small committee and unavailable chairs led to everything falling behind. Luckily, a group of fellow leadership students were able to pick up the event. For about 3 days, a makeshift committee took time out of their day to plan the brunch. At the end of the day, everyone learned something and the classes had fun!
Winter brunch, though it is not a particularly large event, does include having food and drinks. The main concern here was taking off masks and serving food. Our class decided to hold the even in an open gym and was mindful as to how far apart tables were set up. Food servers took extra precaution and most things were adjusted to provide extra safety Everyone who was not eating kept their mask on and maintained

Tis the Season Spirit Week
Tis the Season Spirit Week
Arroyo Grande High School
The spirit week was challenging to balance the activities with all the leadership classes: Associated Student Body, Link Crew program, and Academic Improvement Motivation program (AIM). During the week, Link Crew had planned a Sophomore Social and Club Door Decorating Contest while AIM had planned a root beer float event for those with esteemed attendance. Although the spirit week was planned thoroughly, we were able to include Link Crew and AIM’s events swiftly and at ease, allowing all three leadership classes to exhibit their own events while providing support to one another rather than compete against each other.

Suicide Prevention Day
Suicide Prevention Day
Chino High School
The death of a friend and student named Rosa Garcia at the beginning of the school year impacted many of the students and staff on our campus. ASB felt it was important to bring awareness to the issues and support student/staff affected by suicide. To do this, we planned a lunch time activity in which over 10 clubs set up tables and participated, each planning a specific activity. Among these activities were things like handing out kindness grams, clothespins with positive messages, or hand made suicide awareness ribbons. We also invited our school counselors to set up a table and provide a variety of resources for those effected by suicide. The student body dressed up in suicide awareness colors–teal and purple–and visited the various booths set up in the quad.

Event Description
How did you transition form plan to production of your event?
We pre-assigned roles to groups. Easy group had a weekly objective and smaller tasks to complete in order to meet the objective. However the challenge we had to keep in mind was our venue. Since we were outside and tend to live in an areas that can be very windy we had to think about how our props, decorations, and activities would hold up against the mighty Santa Ana winds. Thankfully with the help from our physics teachers and tape, lots of tape, we were able to create posters that were able to withstand the winds. We also made sure that everyone in ASB knew the tasks of their classmates. This way if anyone had any questions they knew who to go to and who to even help out if request.
What challenges did you have to overcome for this event?
So many challenges. From planning an indoor rally, to then outdoor, to back indoors and then finally out doors. Many of our usually planning elements had to be modified to fit the space we were going to be in. In the Gym it is easy to keep engagement high, when you are outdoors students can easily be distracted. We had to find multiple ways to keep ALL 3,000 students engaged.

Homecoming Week
Homecoming Week
Francis Parker School
Event Description
Homecoming Week is a beloved Parker tradition. The Francis Parker Associated Student Body is proud of having a major role in planning its festivities each year. Parker’s Homecoming is highly unique in the sense that it brings together the entire Parker community from K-12 across all three school divisions for an entire week under one theme and innumerable amounts of school spirit. ASB’s involvement in Homecoming Week begins with the selection of the theme that will be guiding the week’s festivities, and alongside the actual theme, we brainstorm a “fake theme” to keep the student body on the edge of their seats, waiting for the moment the theme is revealed. In the meantime, ASB works hard on planning all of the logistics for each day of Homecoming Week. This year, events included a student versus teacher basketball game, grade-level kickball competitions, a motivational speaker during Advisory time, a spirit rally, float building, themed free-dress days, the Homecoming fair and carnival, Homecoming royalty selection and crowning, the Homecoming football game, Cheer and Dance Team performances, and last but not least, the Homecoming Dance. This wide range of events not only pegs the school spirit meter (especially with regular appearances of our mascot, Lance!), but also ensures that the entire week is inclusive to all students who wish to celebrate Homecoming in different ways, whether it’s applying their artistic skills to their class float or showing off their basketball skills with fellow students against the teachers’ team. Parker’s Homecoming Week is a culmination of school spirit and community that holds a very special place in the hearts of all of our Lancers.
How did you transition from plan to production of your event?
ASB always makes sure to plan our events as completely as possible, especially the logistics and execution of the event. Because Homecoming Week was essentially a week-long ASB event, it required meticulous planning to make sure that everything would run smoothly. This planning started in June 2021, when at ASB Orientation, we as an ASB voted on the theme for Homecoming. Since ASB is a team, we rely on all of our members to contribute to the planning process of an event as big as Homecoming. The Director of Events helped to brainstorm ideas for how we can best portray the theme, and the Awareness Director ensured that we were remaining equitable and inclusive to all with our execution of the theme. Now that we had ideas, we were ready to begin transitioning from plan to production. Once we had the theme announcement video scripted and filmed, we focused our attention on the rest of Homecoming Week. In order to ensure we had the necessary campus facilities (such as speakers, microphones, rooms, and tables) reserved for ASB activities that week, our Communications Director reached out to the Maintenance Staff and Attendance Secretary to coordinate facilities logistics. Then, the Director of Spirit worked with the Director of Events and the rest of the ASB class to transition our theme announcement celebration ideas into reality. With the assistance of our ASB advisors, we purchased the necessary lawn games and decorations (including the giant playing card costumes for ASB members) that we would need for the theme announcement event. As the day approached, we created a spreadsheet outlining where each ASB member would be in order to help the event run smoothly; this made sure that we would be ready for the execution of our plan. ASB’s hard work in planning the theme reveal event was definitely worth it, as we received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the student body. Throughout the rest of the week, all of ASB put in a lot of effort to ensure our plans for float building and the advisory speaker went well. Because we are a team, the transition from plan to production of our Homecoming Week events involved every ASB member, and our work helped organize an incredibly fun and spirited Homecoming Week for the entire school.
What challenges did you have to overcome for this event?
One significant challenge during Homecoming Week that always puts ASB’s abilities to the test was general logistics and scheduling, especially during the Homecoming fair and parade. Because there are so many different activities happening at once—football, club booths, Cheer and Dance Team performances, royalty crowning, just to name a few—ASB members, many of whom are involved in other school activities, were in high demand and short supply to help the fair and parade run smoothly. We were needed in a variety of locations to help manage crowds, set up decorations, assist clubs in counting money, and help class parents sell items in class booths. To tackle these logistical issues while also ensuring that ASB members would still be able to enjoy Homecoming, we created a spreadsheet breaking down the night into time chunks based on location, each of which an ASB member could sign up for. This spreadsheet was coordinated the week before Homecoming so that all ASB members were aware of where they had to be at certain times throughout the night. Once our plan was in place, it was time to put it into production to overcome this challenge that puts every Parker ASB to the test each year. Because of our organizational skills, we were able to help out everywhere ASB was needed throughout Homecoming to make sure that the event ran as smoothly as possible. We utilized other technology like our ASB group chat to remind each other of upcoming shifts at certain locations, and referenced the spreadsheet throughout the night to stay on schedule and to get help where it was needed most. Because our ASB is relatively small, at around 20 members, we always are spread very thin at Homecoming, which is our school’s largest event by far. We also had not organized an event of this size since before the pandemic, so the logistics of Homecoming Week put our ASB’s skills to the test. Another commitment required of ASB during Homecoming Week is managing our school mascot, Lance; this involves an ASB member wearing the suit while another ASB member acts as the handler throughout the duration of the mascot’s appearance. The Lance commitment was just another responsibility taken on by ASB during Homecoming Week, but the amount of high fives and photo-ops with Lance were at an all-time high this year, increasing school spirit after almost two years of quarantine. Throughout all of Homecoming Week, ASB brushed away the dust, and we rose to the challenge armed with our spreadsheet and organizational skills to ensure that, regardless of logistical difficulties, we would still be able to provide a spirited, fun, community-building week for the entire Parker community, from kindergartners to alumni and everyone in between.

What challenges did you have to overcome for this event?
COVID requirements made getting student participation difficult in the beginning. It also added to changing our dance from an indoor gym event to an outdoor event which put pressure on our ASB director and administration to make sure district guidelines were followed. Please see our attached slides for more challenges.

Holiday Hallway Parade and Security Golf Cart Decorating
Holiday Hallway Parade and Security Golf Cart Decorating
Bellflower Middle/High School
The key to the success of our Holiday Hallway Parade was working closely with the School Senate. We met frequently with the leaders of the school leading up to the event to discuss our plans. We used Google Classroom and Google Slides to design our posters. Additionally, we had a run-through of the event two days before the event. All participants worked together after school to do three full run-throughs. This allowed us to figure out timing of the event. We learned that we needed 4 speakers, one on each golf cart so that there was music filling the halls for all sections of the parade. On the day of the event, students and staffulty members showed up right where we needed them.
