ASB is an awesome leadership opportunity, where you get to let your creativity shine, develop teamwork skills, and become leaders and supporters of your school. You can gain service hours, make new friends, get a fun and exciting 8th grade year, and help make the school a better place for yourself and your peers! Throughout the year, you will plan spirit days, lunchtime activities, parties, advisement competitions, design posters, and so much more!
(PS: Sometimes there's free food!)
ASB is lots of fun, but it also requires a lot of hard work and dedication. If you want to focus on other activities, that's okay! Additionally, if you are not selected for the officer position, you can still submit a cabinet application when it becomes available. Officers must have strong leadership skills, be open to ideas, and have the ability to lead a team. They want to make a change, dedicate time and energy to ASB, uphold good grades, care for the student body, and stay organized. Do these traits and qualities sound like you? If you're interested, fill out an application for the officer position that suits you best. Are you still interested and feel like you meet most of these traits, but don't want to be stuck in one position? Later in the year, when cabinet applications open, apply for a position in the ASB cabinet, where you get to do a little bit of everything!
There are approximately 25 cabinet members each year, and each member of the cabinet is a representative for an advisement. On days where there is a spirit day, fundraiser, candy grams, birthdays to give out, or anything else to do with an advisement, representatives will go to their respective advisements to take care of whatever is needed that day. During 6th period (ASB), they will work in committees headed by their officers to plan or create a variety of things, including spirit days and posters. A great part of being in ASB cabinet is that they get to work in all five committees!
