2002-2003
Veterans Day Program
The representatives in Student Council presented a brief Veterans Day Program to honor and remember our veterans on Monday morning, November 11, 2002. The program opened with the presentation of colors, Pledge of Allegiance, and "The Star Spangled Banner," and was followed by Student Council Representatives giving the history and meaning of Veteran's Day. The Choir featured soloists Gage Martin & Mikka Trent in their performance of "You Are Our Heroes" by Teresa Jennings. The program concluded with recognition of the veterans that were present followed by a moment of silence.
Spirit Days
Your Student Council has been busy this year. In
addition to collecting donations for the Ground Zero Book Drive and putting
together the Veterans Day Program, they have planned some spirit days.
They once again set the 11th of every month as "Red, White and Blue Day."
They also voted this year to make the first school day of each month as
"Green and White Day." Students are encouraged to show their school
spirit by participating in these Spirit Days.
Ground Zero Book Drive
Student Council Representatives collected monetary donations during the week of September 30 for the Ground Zero Book Drive sponsored by the Indianapolis Children's Museum. The drive raised funds that were sent to the five public schools within a one-mile radius of Ground Zero in New York City. The money will be used to purchase new books for the libraries.
A total of $105.29 was collected from the students and
staff of Hall Elementary. We decorated the hallway near the office
with then names of the people making donations to the drive. A total
of $6,500 was raised state-wide for the Ground Zero Book Drive. Thanks
to everyone who donated to this worthy cause.
Fundraiser Activities
They also sponsored a "Hat Hall-A-Day" in December. Students paid $1.00 for the privilege of wearing a hat for the entire school day.
In February, we raised about $150.00 by selling heart shaped lollipops during lunch time. The lollipops were delivered to the classrooms during the Valentine's Day Parties.
We rounded out the year by holding a raffle for the chance to shadow Mrs. Berlin for an afternoon. Students bought raffle tickets for 50 cents to be "Principal for an Afternoon."
All money raised by the Hall Elementary School Student
Council is sent to Riley Hospital as part of the Kids
Caring & Sharing Program sponsored by Riley Hospital.
