Student Go vernmenf Association Among the many different organizations at Trinity Heights, one particular club stands above the rest. Trinity Heights' Student Government Association is consistently the most active and in- volved organization to participate in. SGA sponsors a workshop at the beginning of the school year in order to welcome back students with a big pep rally. Homecoming, spirit contests, SGA Secret Students, Student Government Week, Spring Fever Day, Halloween Party, Christmas Party, and Elementary Field Day are a few of the projects SGA promotes. Many activities the SGA sponsors are very orginal and need an explanation in order to clearly understand their purpose. One such project is the spirit contest. This is a semester divided stu- dent involvement activity in which all four high school classes compete against one another to win spirit points. The spirit games vary from week to week ranging from bobbing for apples to water balloon fights. The class with the most points at the end of the semester is allowed to wear blue-jeans for one week rather than wearing uniforms. Also, at the end of that week the class goes to eat at the resturaunt of their choice. Activities such as these keep students interested and active in their school. In order to finance these projects, the SGA maintains a very active fund raising plan. Some of the money raising projects include: Santa Grams, bluejean Day, bake slaes, and M81M sales. The Student Government Association cares a great deal about the people that support them and the school they repre- sent. The following activities are done in appreciation. to their supporters: SGA hosted a luncheon in which they presented a microwave oven to the teachers: a calendar of events is placed in the main quadrangle to keep everyone informed of what is happening: a newsletter is provided for all SGA members to keep them aware of the club's activities. Also, a trash cleanup has been organized to help keep the campus cleaner by assign- ing a different school club to clean up each week. members are generally elected by their peers to represent each different organization in the school. One may also obtain membership in the SGA by volunteering their services in the required number of activities. Members have the opportunity to attend Student Government workshops and conventions throughout the year. These promote students to actively partici- pate in making their school a better place to be. The success of Trinity Heights SGA is based largely upon the leadership of sponsor, Mrs. Kent and president Casey Cassel. Between these two people and a group of responsible, caring members, the Student Government Association has established itself as an outstanding organization at Trinity Heights.
