Task

SBO Communications Officer Task:

Create a sample intercom announcement advertising a student as a Student of the Year winner. Additionally create 3 social media posts to encourage students to attend 3 events at Cottonwood. SBOs, give three ideas for making the YouTube live announcements engaging. How will you include other members of Student Government in these Live Announcements?

Sample Intercom announcement:

"Although it was an extremely difficult choice, Colts, today we are honored to announce (student Name) as our student of the year! (This Student) has made a meaningful difference through their character, service, and dedication to others. (student name) has helped create a more welcoming and supportive environment here at cottonwood. Congratulations to (student name), thank you for showing what it truly means to be a colt. When you see (student name) make sure to give them a big congratulations for earning this amazing honor. "

Ideas For YouTube Live Announcements:

Bring SBO members on as guest hosts:

Changing who appears on screen will help to keep the announcements interesting and will help students to recognize members of the student body. It will also give SBO's chances to introduce events that they are leading.

Feature student engagement:

We could pull people out of class or interview people and incorporate them into the announcements. SBOs could be in charge of reaching out or interviewing different students to cover each part (sports, clubs, events, etc.).

Spotlight Segments that rotate weekly

Announcements could include spotlights that change every week to keep people watching and engaged. (For example, Club of the week, teacher spotlight, or hidden talents etc.) Different SBO's could be in charge of one every week, so they appear often and build familiarity with the audience.
