Organising Founder's Week 2023 @SJIIM
As a Deputy Leader of the Lasallian Youth Movement (my school's
service-oriented, student-led extracurricular activity),
it is both an honour and responsibility to be able to organise the
school's annual event: Founder's Week. Since the school was founded,
this event has been instrumental in building a sense of community
spirit and appreciation for our school.
In this week, we carried out a variety of service projects and
activities like fundraising and volunteering activites. Just by
selling Founder's Day t-shirts, we raised more than RM3000
and donated the amount, along with donation boxes with food items
and other essentials, to the homes. We also invited some kids
from the home to come over to our school on the weekend for a fun
day out.
Along with this, we organised a flashmob and involved the Elementary School
to make lots of little crafts to put up around the school to
celebrate. We strung up virtue chains on the staircases and did
something we like to call Project Hello where we stand in the
foyer every morning and say hello to everyone coming into school. Some
members of the LYM also painted a mural on the wall to commemorate
the event.
A big thank you to all four of my amazing LYM Leadership teammates
and everyone who participated in this event for making it possible!
This event is one of the best events I've ever organised and taken part in.
Happy Founder's Day!
