- Fostering School Spirit – The Student Leadership Team turned our hallways into a showcase of creativity with the October Door Decorating Contest! From spooky scenes to festive fall designs, their efforts brought excitement, teamwork, and a splash of fun to our school.
- Spreading Holiday Cheer – From spooky fun to festive tunes, our Student Leadership Team continues to bring the holiday spirit to life! They helped organize and run the Halloween Trunk-or-Treat event, creating a night of costumes, candy, and community. Then, they filled the school with joy by leading the Christmas Sing-a-Long, bringing everyone together in song and celebration!
- Encouraging Positivity, One Bulletin Board at a Time – Each trimester, the Student Leadership Team transforms the hallway bulletin board with an uplifting theme to inspire and connect our school community. Past examples include:

- Kindness Chain – Students wrote down kind acts they’ve experienced, and the Student Leadership Team links the notes together to create a kindness chain that stretches throughout the school, proving that kindness truly connects us all.
