CAB discusses proposed homecoming themes

Student Activities Director Megan Northrup presented next year’s homecoming theme ideas at the meeting to get CAB’s input. The themes so far are Homecoming Roadtrip, The Homecoming Games (a Hunger Games theme), Happily Ever Homecoming (Disney theme), Chadron’s Got Games (board game theme), Home Sweet Homecoming (similar to last year’s theme), and The Rock (different rock theme days with ‘protect the Rock’ ended out the week).
“The board game one sounds really fun and applicable to people coming into school, for what they’re going to be doing. It feels like a foreshadowing,” Ashten Gerbing, 24, of Hot Springs, South Dakota, said.
“I like the Rock, especially with getting a new football stadium soon,” Justin Hartman, 21, senior of Valentine, said.
Moderate head nodding passed the two votes in, leading Chadron’s Got Games and The Rock to the top two choices of next year’s homecoming themes.
Nominations for the 2018-2019 school year CAB Executive Board opened during the meeting. After a long silence, Vice Chair of Finance, Tierra Snyder, senior of Beatrice, nominated Chair, Kimberly Hernandez, junior of Scottsbluff, Vice Chair of Relations, Hannah Fessler, junior of Alliance, and Vice Chair of Records, Kristina McGann, junior of Broken Bow, for their current positions.
No nominations have been made for the positions of Vice Chair of Finance and Vice Chair of Programming. Snyder and Vice Chair of Programming, Isabella Irish will be graduating, so the positions need to be filled. All positions are still up for grabs, and nominations will remain open until the meeting next Tuesday.
A former student reached out to CAB and RLA to set up a time for students to make cards for Mr. Phil Cary. Cary was a math professor at CSC and retired from CSC last year. Recently, six tumors have been found in his brain, and in addition to the Caring Bridge account being set up in support, there will be a card making event for Cary, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Ponderosa Room, Wednesday, April 25.
Last Sunday, 230 students attended the final Free Movie Night of the semester. ‘A Quiet Place’ sold out, and students ended up having to buy their tickets to get into the showing.
Senate allocated 2,000 dollars towards the Week of Welcome for larger scale programming. CAB would like to sponsor a day of activities to welcome new students at the state park.
The Big Event is scheduled for this Saturday regardless of weather.
“Let me encourage you to think about participating in the Big Event this upcoming weekend. I know that the weather is going to be absolutely wonderful, but it will be a great experience,” Pat Beu said.
