Have you ever wondered who comes up with the ideas for the spirit days we have throughout the year? Or who plans the various drives the school participates in helping the community? Look no further than the student senate. If you can name an event that the high school has held, the chances are that student senate orchestrated it.
But why am I telling you all of this, when I can say it through the words of someone who knows everything about the student senate? I recently had the opportunity to speak with Mrs. Adams, the advisor of student senate, to ask her all about what they have done for the school, and what they intend to do in the future:
“What is the main goal of student senate?”
Giving students the chance to be leaders, and running the events that they are going to.
“What are some of the events that Student Senate has done so far?”
We’ve had the Saber Spookfest, we’ve also had two different blood drives, Homecoming, Prom, Winterlude, teacher appreciation, and those are just some of them.
“What would someone need to do in order to join student senate?”
To join student senate they just need to come and see me, and then we can get them all signed up and start coming to meetings joining in student events.
“Where can people go to learn more about student senate?”
We have a student senate website, they can also talk to any of our representatives or officers. We have a student body president, vice president, secretary, as well as class presidents for every grade.
If you want to see what else student senate has helped do, you can find more information about them on their website, or you can follow them on twitter @FHS_SSenate to stay up to date on all of their events. If you are interested in joining student senate and helping to improve the FHS community, contact Mrs. Adams.
