My name is Parker Olson and I am honored to be your Student Body President for the Year. One of my favorite quotes from one of the best Quarterbacks of all time is by Tom Brady. After his career he shared a speech when getting inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame one of my favorite things he said was “To be successful at anything you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: Consistent, Determined, and willing to work for it.” 

This year our student council decided on the theme of Earned not Given. This is a very important motto to me in my life and I think that it’s important in everyone’s life to become successful at whatever it is you want to do. In life we can’t expect things to just be handed to us, we have to be willing to work for it even when the result is not guaranteed. Even when we don’t get what we think we want, it’s where we ended up in the process of showing up and working hard. Because it is not only about the outcome, it is about who we become in the process! We become better people, and learn and grow from that experience so that we can continue to be the best version of ourselves we can become. 

And even though our theme is “earned, not given” Honestly we all have had things given to us that we didn’t really do anything to deserve or earn…whether it was a gift that was given to us…a talent or blessing we have received…a second chance at something…in any case, none of us really earned those things so what do we do in those situations? 2 things! 1, express gratitude…tell those around you thanks who have made your life better and number 2, pay it forward. In other words, find someone to serve or give something to, even though they didn’t necessarily earn it. Remember Gratitude and service when we are given things that we haven’t earned. 

That being said, there are things that can happen in our lives that will not just be given to us – we have to earn them! Just like Tom Bradys quote it shows that no matter what you do in life and no matter where you are right now you can be successful you just have to be different and act differently than everyone else by working hard and being consistent. Our football coach, Coach T has taught from the very beginning if we want to be successful this season we have to show up to things on time, be prepared, and work hard. This can be applied to all of us no matter what we want to do. If we follow by these principles and outwork everyone else you can be successful.

I want to make this school year a good experience for everyone and have a great time this year. I want to meet as many of you guys as I can this year and if you need anyone to talk with, I’m always here to listen.

Hello everyone and Welcome back! My name is Bryson Steel and I am the student body president this year. I am so excited to be speaking to you guys and so excited to spend this year with you. The theme for this school year is SC All in. And I wanted to talk to you a little bit about what that means and how it can benefit you. This summer I had the opportunity to go to Bolivia for 2 and a half weeks for a humanitarian trip. Being gone for that long brought it challenges. 

I missed my family, my friends, sleep because we would wake up early every morning, and American food. While these were very hard trials these 17 days were the best 17 days I could have asked for. Being All in really helped me get through some of these challenges. Being All in for the kids that we were serving really helped. Our project was building a classroom for these kids in Bolivia. These kids didn’t have enough classrooms to allow them to go to high school. Knowing that we were helping these amazing kids who would support us everyday helped me be able to show up and work hard everyday. 

It also helped to be All in for my group that was on this trip with me. Being all in for them helped the group want to go and work hard each day. It made this hard labor much more fun because you were doing it in a fun way with people you like being around! 

This trip is very similar to the school year. There are going to be challenges this year. Whether that’s having a lot of homework, being sick and having to miss some days, or having a big test. There will always be trials like that, but being ALL IN this year can help you get through it. Like being ALL IN for the kids in Bolivia being ALL IN in school is Being ALL IN for learning. 

Remembering the purpose can help us get through the challenges of Homework or having to study for a tough test. This can give the much needed motivation we need to keep going with our school work. 

This also means showing up. Whether that means joining a club or a team and showing up to that or showing up to class. Being all in for learning means you are showing up doing your best trying to learn. 

Whether that is school or anything else you are doing throughout this year. Things will get hard in tests and homework or the club or team you are involved in but showing up will help you get through those things easier.  Another way to be ALL IN  this year is being all in for our fellow students. 

This means supporting each other. This means going to things. Like going to the football game, basketball game, band concert, school play, or tennis match. Go watch and support your fellow students. Go and sit by someone new in class that is sitting by themselves. Going to the dances and the activities that we have with people. This will help these students so much but it won’t just help them it will also help you as well. Going to these events you will see how much fun it is to be with your friends and watching these games or going to dance. I know you will enjoy it and have fun! This can help relieve all of the stress that comes during the year. 

This helps keep you fresh and keeps you going throughout the school year. The last thing I want to talk about is the exec council. We are here for you guys and we are all in to help you guys this year. If you need anything or just need to talk to someone we are all willing to help. We are so excited for this year and can’t wait for all the fun we will have this year. Thank you for all the support. Go Warriors!

Good morning snow canyon!

I hope you have all been enjoying the assembly so far. A huge shoutout to our amazing Student Council for pulling off this incredible assembly! Their efforts don’t go unnoticed. Thank you guys for creating this wonderful experience..

 they’re seriously here to make our school life epic. Whether you’re dealing with problems, got ideas for cool stuff, or just need someone to talk to, these guys are on it. They’re the ones planning those fun events, standing up for what we need, and basically making our voices heard. So if you ever spot them around campus, know that they’re like our go-to crew for making our time here way more awesome. 

And another huge shout out to our techies. They are behind the scenes for this whole thing

I am Caden Morris and I am your student body president. I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you as a student body and with our amazing admin. Stepping into the role as a student body president is both hard and exhilarating, but I am both prepared and determined to put in the effort to make this school year unforgettable. 

With the role of student body president I have been given the opportunity to introduce and talk about our year’s theme, Warrior 24/7. 

I believe that snow canyon sits on top when compared to the other schools. Well obviously, we’re on top because you have me as your student body president. We also have the most spirit, the most astounding administration and faculty that care about our students, a student body that pushes each other inside and out of school. We show that we are warriors by living up to these standards. Every person represents our school and our actions will impact how people view our school. To be a warrior 24/7 you are putting in effort and holding yourself to a higher standard to be an outstanding person in our community. This empowering theme ignites the fire within each of us to face life’s challenges with unwavering courage and determination, all day, every day. Just like a warrior embraces strength, resilience, and a never-give-up attitude, we’re called to approach our studies, relationships, and personal growth with the same fearless spirit.

 Our theme 24/7 challenges each of us to consistently embody the qualities we wish to see in the world, not just within the confines of our school, but every moment of our lives. I challenge you all to be a warrior 24 hours 7 days a week.  Now let’s have the best year yet. Let us make our siblings and parents jealous of our high school experience. Warriors, let’s ride. 

This is the info for our leadership camp up in Logan on June 7th – 11th . We will be leaving after 11am on the 7th and will be home around 3pm on the 11th. Enter your info into the info sheet and go to the Waiver site with your parents before April 25th.
