APRIL CALENDAR - Student Activities

Listed below are student activities for the month of April.

1. At this time you should be putting your finishing touches on your PROM plans. By now you have most likely visited your PROM site. Make sure your PROM entry tickets are in route to your school. Also, check with your PROM Committee to make sure that all of the decorations have been ordered, such as table center pieces. Most importantly, make sure you have scheduled a PROM chaperone meeting. AND don’t forget your PROM Fashion Show. Please visit our Prom Guide for a comprehensive PROM checklist.

2. April Fool’s Day. A fun activity for April Fool’s Day is to sponsor a Backward’s Day. On Backward’s Day everyone wears their clothes backwards.

3. Big Man on Campus Competition. Select willing senior boys to compete in a fun-filled men’s beauty contest. Be sure to include a talent portion, question and answer portion, and a variety of sportswear portions. Please visit asbdirector.com’s Big Man on Campus link for more details.

4. It is the beginning of Spring so the weather is starting to get nice. This is a good time to hold a Battle of the Bands Contest.

5. At this time you should be forming a Car Show Committee. Most schools hold their Car Show at the end of the school year, but there is a lot of planning that goes into a Car Show.

6. Movie Night. Have your student council select a handful of movies they want to show for Movie Night. During lunch, decorate trash cans with the titles of these movies. The trash can with the most trash is the movie that will be shown during Movie Night.

7. Spring Sports are well under way. Be sure to sponsor a Spring Sports’ Rally. This may be one of your last rallies of the year so be sure to include a lot of Seniors. You may want to have Seniors from different organizations compete against one another in a variety of activities. Go to the media gallery and watch the Vickelodian rally. This rally was designed to have seniors from different groups to compete against one another.

8. Recognition Programs - Make sure you are keeping up with your birthday recognitions, citizen of the week recognitions, athletes of the week recognitions, teacher spotlight recognitions, and so forth. You want to finish the year as strong as you started  it.

9. Spring Break - Bring a giant sheet of white butcher paper to your outdoor stage and allow students to write down or draw pictures of what they are going to do over Spring Break.

10. April is a great time to do campus beautification projects. Have your leadership students and clubs do a Spring Day. On this day, they can plant flowers around campus or help clean up a section of school.
