FALL RIVER: <\/strong>Lockview High School\u2019s student council is ramping up a busy fall season of events \u2014 all designed to boost school spirit and strengthen ties with the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grade 12 students Dallas Francis and Aili Pearcey said the excitement kicked off with the school\u2019s Terry Fox Walk on October 15, which saw strong participation and generous donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of donations, so we\u2019re really proud about that,\u201d said Pearcey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up is a movie night on October 22, followed the next day by a leadership assembly for Grades 9 and 10 featuring guest speaker Jeff Gerber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, on November 6, Lockview will hold its first pep rally in three years \u2014 something the student council is especially looking forward to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about getting people involved, showing what student council does, and just bringing back that school spirit,\u201d Francis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll have games, introduce sports teams and clubs, and get everyone excited again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To close out November, Lockview is hosting a Holiday Craft Fair on November 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tables cost $30 each, and vendors are invited to sell anything handmade or homemade \u2014 from crafts to baked goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peracey said the idea behind the craft fair was to connect the school with the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wanted to get the community involved as much as we could,\u201d she explained. \u201cThe holidays are a great time for that \u2014 it lets people come together and also gives local vendors a chance to benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Francis added that the student council hopes to make their efforts more visible this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community doesn\u2019t always know what student council does behind the scenes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want them to see that we\u2019re here, we care about the students, and we want to support the community too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vendor inquiries for the craft fair can be directed to JTasker@hrce.ca<\/a> or PGoora@hrce.ca<\/a> and a Google form will be posted on the school\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
