Charity Bracelets Still For Sale! Looking for a way to enhance your fundraising for this year's Charity of the Year? We still have Penrickton bracelets available for sale! Buy them for $1 each in lots of 100, then re-sell them at whatever donation price you set. Some schools have given them away as part of a ticket price (ticket is $5, they get into event and get a bracelet). There are many ways to help raise awareness - start with these bracelets! Keep the Spirit Coming - School Spirit All Year Long! 
It almost always happens this time of year; exams are coming, the holiday buzz is still present, and Senioritis is really kicking in (even for underclassmen). But that does not mean that we can’t keep the spirit coming. The beginning of the year is always filled with events from fundraising to Homecoming and everything in between, and the end of the year has its time when everything comes to a close and Senior events and year end dances dominant the schedule. But everyone seems to forget those long months in between and the school spirit always seems to lack during those trying months. Regional Presenters & Conferences Ready for Regionals? WE ARE!!!! Get your students ready - to soak it all in or to present the best ideas from your school. Conferences start in March and we have locations around the state:

Let’s be honest, the image of most student councils perceived by the student body isn’t what we would like it to be. Many students feel that the council’s primary objective is to set up homecoming week, and maybe they are right. Student councils spend a large majority of the time preparing for homecoming week, making it probably one of their top priorities for the year. But is what many forget is that councils are also responsible for handling student issues. Remember that this year, we have a NEW deadline policy! No more "postmarked by" - instead, your awards must be IN OUR OFFICE by February 27, 2009. So get them in the mail EARLY or hand-deliver them if needed. Awards received AFTER February 27th will NOT be accepted for consideration. VISIT THE AWARDS SECTION OF OUR WEBSITE Shirts? Supplies? Scholarships? Whether you are looking for "it" or need to fund "it", we have a solution! We just launched our Virtual Exhibit and we invite you to check out the companies already involved! If your crew is looking for some extra cash, this is your chance! If you refer a company/speaker that signs up and they reference your name, we'll send you $25! Just lead them to our site and that's it! You get the money in your pocket just for encouraging them to be part of our site. Easy as pie. 2010 State Conference Host School 
CONGRATULATIONS!!! The student council at Churchill High School, Livonia, under the leadership of Mr. Bill Halvangis, has been selected as the 2010 MASC/MAHS Annual Student State Conference Host School! We look forward to working with them over the next year and a half. The 2010 State Conference is March 27-29, at the Grand Traverse Resort in Acme, Michigan. 
As you move well into the second half of the school year, some of you might already be looking ahead to next year. What will you do different? The same? What will the students focus their energy on? We have seen so many messages of "change" recently that this video seemed most fitting. So grab your morning coffee, or your end of the day snack, sit back, relax, and be inspired!
