For Grades 9-12
 |
The Caravel Student Government (CSG) is made up of
the entire high school, but most of the work is done by
the executive committee. The executive committee meets
every Monday during the last period of the day. Here the
students brainstorm and work on dances, signs, and other
activities that CSG is sponsoring.

Fall |
In the Fall we focus on Homecoming ceremonies. We
welcome back the
Alumni with stadium decorations during the
football game. The big Homecoming Dance is the highlight of the Fall
season.

Winter |
In December,
we begin the annual spirit wall competition. Each
class gets a section of the hallway to decorate for the
holiday season. A theme unifies the spirit walls
and the tree trim ceremony. Throughout the month the CSG holds a gift drive for the trip to
A.I. DuPont Hospital
to help Santa give gifts to the children.
During the
month of January the CSG provides the teachers with
treats, support, encouraging notes, and even breakfast one morning during
teacher appreciation week.
During
February, the CSG hosts the Sweetheart dance. There are many pre
dance activities including secret admirer week, where students
can write notes to other students that they care about, and
hush days. During the hush days, paper hearts are given out to
all the girls in the high school on one day and boys on the next
day. The students with the hearts can not talk to the opposite
sex, if they do then their heart belongs to that person. The
student who collects the most hearts will get free admission to
the dance, and runners up will receive other prizes. |

Spring |
In the Spring, the CSG has an Easter Egg hunt for lower
and pre school children. Eggs
are filled with different types of candy and the children look
for the eggs, which are hidden by the CSG members. The Easter Bunny may also make an
appearance.
As a service project the CSG works with elementary school children
after school to provide them with enrichment-type activities.
Activities include: acting, martial arts, clay molding, country line
dancing, and leadership games.
The CSG holds its convention in the Spring to elect new officers for
the next year.
At the end of the school year the CSG plans a fun trip for all high
school students to an amusement park. |
 |
Summer |
The new officers meet over the summer to discuss and plan
for the new school year.
A training session is held for all members of the CSG Executive
Committee in August. A new student orientation is also held in
August to help all new Upper School students at Caravel feel welcome and
comfortable. |
