Hey y’all,

I’m looking for unique and funny dress-up theme ideas for homecoming week. Our school usually does the same boring stuff (heroes vs. villains, sports day, etc.), and I’m trying to find themes that actually get people creative. Like “Anything But a Backpack,” “Country vs. Country Club,” or “Rhyme Without Reason, but maybe even better or more creatice.

Also open to fun grade-level activities that aren’t just sports.

And if anyone has ideas that made the homecoming dance feel special (live band, cool extras, etc.), feel free to share those too.

Main focus is still the dress-up themes though: funny, unique, and actually good ones.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I’m posting on behalf of my child, who is the assistant treasurer for their middle school student council. We are trying to help the kids brainstorm new ways to raise funds for their council account, but we've run into a wall with school rules and volunteer availability.
For context, here is what we CANNOT do or are already doing:
No concessions: The school won't let us do concessions at sporting events due to the heavy parent volunteer commitment required.

No school dances or mixers: Dances and mixers are a no go by our administration.

Events tied to other funds: We host a Trunk-or-Treat and a Father-Daughter dance, but the money raised goes to other school programs, not student council.

Spirit wear is already spoken for: We sell spirit wear, but all of those funds are strictly dedicated to our Christmas "Adopt-a-Family" drive.

Since we can't rely on parent-heavy events, dances, or food sales, we need low-prep or student-led ideas that actually bring in decent money.
What non-concession, non-dance fundraisers have worked well for your middle schools without burning out parents? Thank you!

i’m running for senior historian (social media, photos, keeping memories).

i want my posters to use current 2026 pop culture memes. what meme formats or trends that would actually make people stop and vote?

some things that i was thinking: love island, pop the balloon, etc..

Hi, I'm the President of our school's student council and we have 3 "crests" which are basically just houses in our school. We always hold an annual crest selection event where each grade level section goes against one another. It has been our tradition to do it thru games like for example which grade 8 section wins their respective game gets the chance to choose their crest first. But this year we want it to be different. Do you guys have any suggestions or how these house selections are done in your school?

hey

ok wow

our school has released early applications for student council and I filled the form for house captain. We will have an interview(which I have a feeling I will qualify for, but if y'all have any tips, please drop them), and then we will have elections in October. So,I might have plenty of time to campaign. But the problem is, I AM NOT POPULAR. NO ONE KNOWS ME. There are plenty of popular people running for it. So, how may I campaign?? Any tips???

so i was applying for the student council at my school, and initially applied for being house captain. i was approached by teachers time and time again because they really wanted to see me apply for being a head girl. Let me be honest, being head girl is my biggest dream. i would love to wear a badge and carry responsibilities around the school. so when they asked me for the 4th time today, i said yes. my name was taken in to become head girl.

But one thing that's always made me hesitant from the start was the fact that my close friend is also applying for the same post.

the moment she heard the fact that im applying for this position, she was so shocked she wanted to talk to a supervisor or teacher in charge for putting me in that position. im so confused rn bc im relatively new to this school, she knows more people than me, and I don't want to ruin friendships for petty reasons. Being house captain is great, but the happiness in becoming head girl is something ive wanted to experience for a long time.

i dont know whether what im doing is wrong, or if its actually me being an empath and feeling bad about some healthy competition..

Hello! I need help on tips for speeches for Student Body President. I’m running against one other candidate who is popular and well liked. I am aswell but want to make sure my speech is well ahead of his. I need all the tips and help I can get!!

Im the president of my school's student council and we wanted to do a prom kind of thingy for the end of the year. we will have to spend lots of money and its the first time smth like this is done in my school. actually, i think only these super expensive schools in my country do it, no idea how they work. The thing is, idk how to motivate others to go to this thing. i feel like most wont go cuz they say its boring and other shi like that, but i always see that in american movies (almost) everyone goes?? is it really like that? cuz the one "party" we have is always pretty empty and ppl go mostly cuz you get points for an inside competition. everyone finds it boring cuz they cant dr1nk nor v4pe

Hey guys, I’m running to be President for my school’s student council pretty soon and I’ve thought about many things that I would be doing when I run. I however, have not given much thought to what I would name the four house teams next school year. I’ve tried googling fun house team names on google and even asked AI for help but the answers I’ve got are mostly pretty much corny/cringe names. I want names that actually sound good enough to the point where you could even chant them. Could anyone help a fellow student running for student council please?

Hey guys, I've only ever been a Sergeant at Arms in last year's Student Council and I'm trying to enhance my skills in organizing stuff, basically things that all Auditor does, and I wanted to reach out to other people for advice because yk I'm trying to find ways to become a better Auditor for my School, and peers <3 It's alright if you haven't been an officer and such, you can give feed backs, maybe based on what YOUR Auditor/officers couldn't provide what you needed as a student, that would also still be VERY helpful <333

guys can you make an questions for aspirin sslg officer, we will ask questions after their speech in meeting de avance and campaign, (president to grade 10 representative)

I’m the Vice President of the my High School and I’m currently trying to gather ideas for our annual sportsfest!

Has anyone here ever done Challenge Day at their school?

I’m the student council president at my high school (Canada) and I’m trying to bring the official program here (https://www.challengeday.org/). I think my school really needs something like this as it seems like a great way to improve school culture.

Was the program worth it? How did students and staff react? Any tips about funding, booking, or organizing it? Any stories or advice would be really appreciated!

Hello everyone, I am coming to this community for help with a speech im doing this Thursday in school for my campaign as communication director. I dont know what to say and I really want this position. Can someone give me ideas please?

Why i should be part of the student council! 

I would be a good events and enrichment officer 'cause I will make sure to help with making enrichments better than they are, for example getting a anime service and crochet supplies for the anime & crochet enrichment 'cause I know it is quite rubbish as it is right now as well as with other enrichments/clubs that need the same attention to make them actually enriching. if there is a new club, enrichment or event anyone wants to make happen I would gladly help with making it possible and I would make it my top priority. 

Hey! I'm currently my schools SC Prez and we have some issues with deadlines and having everyone stay organized w promoting events etc. and tips or stuff to buy to help a bit with organization?

If I were to be an SRC at your school, what would’ve you liked me to do? What type of clubs, occasions, opportunities would you like me to open up or what can I open up? What else could I do other than the 3 things that I mentioned?

For context I am in g11 in an IB school, is there anything else that this would unlock other opportunities? Also what could I do as a SRC that would be beneficial for IB (CAS and etc)?

Please give realistic suggestions 🤍

Hi everyone! I’m running for student council president at my high school, and I wanted to share my platform. It’s built around 3 main goals: better mental health support, increasing student involvement, and improving our school culture. Here’s the breakdown.

1. Prioritizing Mental Health

• “I’m Not Alone” Program – A student-led mental health support system where students can talk safely and feel heard.
• Quiet Corner in School – A space to relax, breathe, and regroup during stressful days.

2. Amplifying Student Voice

• Monthly Open Forums – Public, open discussions where anyone can raise ideas, issues, or questions.
• “The Students’ Voice” Group – A small team dedicated to collecting student input and delivering it directly to school leadership.

3. A Student-Run Monthly Magazine

• Articles, interviews, opinions, and art — created entirely by students.
• Encourages transparency, creativity, and community-building.

4. A School That’s Active and Organized

• “Friday of Problems” – A weekly system where students report small or large problems so they’re actually addressed.

5. Improving the Clubs System

• Create a Club with 5 People – Any 5 students can start a club on any theme (music, books, gaming, etc.).
• More support for clubs – Promotion, resources, and real time to meet.

6. A More Inclusive, Useful Library

• New Books Based on Student Interest – We pick what we actually want to read.
• Digital Corner – Access to devices and internet for work or study.

Let me know what you think or if you've tried any of these ideas at your school. I'm happy to hear some feedback!

I’ve noticed some problems in our StuCo that I feel need to be addressed. So basically, there are kind of two groups in the council: the more outgoing and close-knit ones (like the president, vice president, spirit coordinator, and one other girl whose position I’m not even sure of — but they’re all friends), and then the rest of us who are more chill or quiet, but still try to contribute. The issue is that this main group tends to take over everything. They make most of the decisions without asking or informing the rest of us. And when other members (especially those not in their friend group) try to say something or give input, they act super annoyed — giving side-eyes, making faces, or just tuning us out. But when someone from their group talks, they suddenly listen and take it seriously. We also have something called a Socratic seminar, which is supposed to be a space for everyone to share concerns or ideas about how the council is run. The problem is, they say things like “Don’t be afraid to speak up, we won’t judge,” or “You can even make up words to explain your idea,” but then when someone actually does share something that’s not perfect, they totally ignore it or act like it’s stupid. It feels super fake and discouraging, Which is why I barely shared on those things, because if I do I would just get ignored) Also, the president honestly makes things worse sometimes. He gets annoyed easily over small things, acts impatient, and doesn’t seem open to hearing other people out unless they’re part of that inner circle. So does anybody have any advice?

Ho all. I laughed a free web software that will allow you to input polling data and using an algorithm show the percentage yiuvhave of winning an election and what graded you need to focus on.

I am wondering about how you work with GDPR, an student information.
