Deck The Halls

This past Friday, Marco Ovies (grade 12,) the Marketing Executive of Sulli’s Student Council, agreed to an interview about Deck The Halls, our annual winter festivities.  He was able to give a behind-the-scenes view of this year’s event, as well as a brief insight into why Deck the Halls and similar events are so important.

The December calender: a work in progress.

Firstly, the main purpose of Deck The Halls is “to give [the school] holiday spirit and make everything more festive.”  Marco says “we want everyone here to be having a great time.  …You’re here for learning, but also, you want to enjoy your high school experience.”  In fact, Student Council’s function is to add that spark of fun and a little variation to the regular schedule of your school day.

This year in particular, Marco says that more time than ever was put into Deck The Halls, with the goal of making this year the best holiday season yet.  B Wing has been decorated with gingerbread men and gumdrops on the walls.  When venturing into the basement, one would notice the distinct flair of Dr. Seuss, and a portrayal of Who-ville.

In the past few years, Student Council has spent several weeks preparing decorations to put up around the school for countdown to winter break.  Some days, dedicated students would even stay at the school until 10pm to prepare.  And it certainly seems like their hard work has payed off, with a dwindling number of days until break, festive banners all over the school, and tinsel strung across the hallways.

So, congratulations to the hardworking members of Student Council, and may little-to-no homework be given to any of Sulli’s students!
