Hello & Goodbye

Yesterday was the Farewell Assembly at Hunter High School.  I had to say goodbye to the 2013-2014 Student Body Officers.  It was really hard for me (much harder than I expected) and I cried through much of the assembly.  They have been such an incredible group and we have had an amazing year together.  I will miss them.

Yesterday the 2014-2015 Student Body Officers took the oath of office during the assembly.  It was really fun for me to watch them on stage because they are so excited.  I have had a chance to work with them a little bit and they are already wonderful.  I'm looking forward to getting to know them better and I can't wait to see what they accomplish next year!

Yesterday was bittersweet!

Lunch at Little America

Yesterday the principal of HHS took the student body officers and me to lunch at Little America, a gorgeous hotel in downtown Salt Lake City.  It was so much fun to be able to leave school in the middle of the day and have lunch in such a beautiful place.  It was also really great for me to hear them reminisce about how much fun they had this year.  Our principal had each of them share one of their favorite memories.  I think my favorite memory is when we made a giant black and yellow pinata in the shape of a "C" (we played Cottonwood High School for Homecoming). It was enormous and it took us several days after school to make it out of papier-mache.  Then it took an epic feat of engineering to hang it in the gym for the football players to smash during the assembly.  We all prayed that it would stay up long enough and it actually did!  We are all still very proud of it!  Our principal told the students that they could order anything they wanted from the menu without worrying about the price.  They all ordered steak!  He also told them they could order dessert and I had the most delicious cheesecake ever!  I am so proud of these students and I am really glad I had the opportunity to work with them.  It has been a lot of work but it has also been so much fun.  I will miss them!

Note:  When I got back to school that afternoon, the new student body officers designed and ordered their sweaters for next year.  Everything starts all over again...

2013-2014 Student Body Officers

One of the perks of working at a comprehensive high school is being able to sponsor a group, club, or organization.  Granted, this is often a great deal of work; however, it is also a lot of fun!  This year I have been the student government advisor and I have had the pleasure of working with these amazing students!

They have had a very successful year at Hunter High School and I am so proud of them!  We recently had the election for next year's student body officers and the feeling is very bittersweet.  I am excited to work with a new group of students and I am looking forward to new opportunities and experiences.  Yet at the same time I am sad at the thought of saying goodbye to this wonderful group.  I will definitely miss them!

I wish them the best of luck as they go off to college in the fall!  I know they will do great things!
