The Student Athletic Council works with the Athletic Department and Athletic Booster Club to promote sports and support athletes. Participation includes planning pep assemblies, half time shows, promotion of athletic events, organizing senior recognition night, end of season banquets, and more. My job within SAC is "public relations" I make sure that whatever events we are promoting are put into the morning bulletin so that the school is aware of them.
Senior Posters For Sports Awards
To prepare for the Sports Awards, at the end of every season SAC makes posters for each graduating senior. Everyone chooses an athlete to make a poster for via google slides, and we then print it out on an A4 sheet and present them when we recognize the seniors at sports awards.
Bulletin to Support Warriors
As I am in charge public relations, it is my responsibility to make sure that all information regarding upcoming sporting events are carried out by me. This entails making sure that something is posted in the bulletin, when need be.
Supporting Warriors At Basketball Games
A part of SAC is to make sure that during sport events, athletes are supported. We made them posters with their faces on it, and attended basketball games in support of FIS athletes.
Supervisor Review and End of Year Reflection
Working with SAC this past year has been a wonderful experience. My weaknesses has fallen with me being able to involve my creativity in this club. However, my strengths have been my ability to stay committed to this club by participating in various events.
Developing Posters for Senior Sports Awards
The first step of participating in SAC for the start of the 2018was prepare for Senior Sport Awards for the fall season. As shown below, I had to help contribute to the making of posters. It took lots of time and effort, trying to gather images for the athletes I was responsible for, and then having to organize it in a creativite, and neat manner. That being said, they all turned out great and well worth our time in the end.
Apple Fest
For SAC, I helped set up the games that we were running. During the meetings prior to Applefest, we had to come up with ideas of games to entertain kids with. We decided to do a tug of war, soccer shoot out, and vortex throw. It took much brain power and creativity to come up with other events we would hold that day. As shown in the photo below, I was setting up cones in a triangle formation as targets amongst the field for the vortex event. The vortex throw was one of the most popular events that day.
Reflection
The first semester of the school year has had its ups and downs for SAC. I have enjoyed creating posters for the seniors, however it was a struggle to get the team moms and photographers to share the photos. This taught me that collaboration is key to get work done in a timely manner, and that communication too is very important when trying to achieve a common goal. In the end, we were successful and managed to create the posters in time. Additionally, Apple Fest had its problems too. We were successful in thinking of creative games for the kids to play. However, only outdoor space was allotted to our group for games. On the day of Apple Fest, the weather was not in our favor. It was extremely cold, and cloudy as per usual. The turn out of participants for our game was quite low. However, we did everything in our power to try to bring kids to come play our games. I learned that no matter how hard you work to make success happen, some things are out of your control and the turn out still might not be what you wanted.
ISSTs Rugby Posters
This year, Varsity Boy's ISSTs for Rugby was held at our school. For SAC we created posters to hang up around campus supporting our team. This time, instead of making them by using technology, we created them by hand. This called for a little bit of more challenge, time, and team work being that we created them in groups. However, the posters ended up looking more fun and original, and it was an enjoyable experience for all SAC members.
