LHS Color Guard class/ club
Color guard is where a unified group of people that dance and spin flags in unison. LHS color guard is seen every year in the orange blossom parade with the LHS band. I was in color guard my freshmen year and sophomore years of high school. Throughout those years I have performed during many events at LHS with the color guard club and I was also the secretary for the club as well. Being a part of color guard was a great experience because it allowed me to to meet new people, get out of my comfort zone and showed me how to work as a team. |

Since I have became a part of helping the class make decisions and putting in hard work in making our events great; I have noticed that I have become more outgoing and more on top of things. Also now I have seen that there is a lot of things that go into running our class. It was not until junior year I wanted to become the treasurer of the Class of 2017 because I know that there is many things we spend money on and I knew that was a job that i could handle.

Key Club
I Knew I always wanted to help people in my community but I never knew how. Now with Key Club it has provided lots of opportunities for me to volunteer around of community of Lindsay. Volunteering is always something that I liked to do because I know it would make someone else's life better and more enjoyable.

Adventure Club: Treasurer
I joined adventure club my junior year because I thought that it would be a fun club where i can go on amazing trips with the club members. However the problem that we had was that the people who ran the club last year left the account in the negatives. So, our goal beyond that was to fundraise as much as we can and get enough money to go on trips. That year adventure club was able to camping at Pismo beach. Even Though at that time I was unable to go because of other things; the other responses from the other members were that it was fun and they had a blast. Then for my senior year I was able to be elected as the treasurer for the club and I was also nominated to represent the club during homecoming.

Leadership (ASB)
It is an organization/class that plans and organizes events at school. For the most part we get to plan schedules and donate for very school events. It it also of fun because we get to use our ideas to make and decorate events. Our class is very big so when we all work together we get the job done just in time for the students to have an amazing experience. I joined my senior year and I wish that I have taken this class sooner because it is a great experience do things for the school and it also creates many fun memories. |

ASB City Council Representative
Recently this year I was appointed to be the ASB city council representative. Being the representative gives me the responsibility of reporting what is going on at LHS to the City council members. I get to present information of the activities and sports that are going on at school. I have liked being the representative so far because I get to see how the meeting are run and I also get to listen to all of the projects that are happening with the City of Lindsay. It gives me a chance to see the decisions being made and how the council deals with the problems that are presented to them at the meetings. I also get to work closely with the council members such as Mayor Kimball, mayor pro tem Salinas, and council member Velasques, Watson and Cortez. |

Volunteer Hours
Lindsay Police Station Santa Night
Every year the Lindsay police station does this even for the holidays that the whole community can come to. This event gives free gifts to all the children in the community and this event also has free hot chocolate and food available. Many families come to get presents and get a picture with santa. When those kids get their presents the big smiles on their faces is so heart warming. It also makes it worth to stand out in the freezing cold to receive their presents.

HOW Dinners
Once a month there is a dinner that is held at the Lindsay wellness center that is organized by Helping Our Women. They do these dinners to fund raise money for a selected woman each month. At these HOW dinners I set up and serve food to all of the people there. I also stay to help clean up the tables and the kitchen. It is always a lot of fun helping out such a great organization in our community.

Football Stadium Clean-up
Every friday night after the football games me and a couple of other people stay after to clean up the stadium. Right after the game we get trash bags and gloves then get to work cleaning the bleachers. We pick up food, cans and trash that was left behind from people. It's kind of gross at first ,but i like how I am keeping the stadium clean for the next person to use. |
Food Booths
During the first years of high school I volunteered to help with food booths for my clubs but now that I am in ASB I do more than just help sell food. I get to help Mrs.Gonzalez store, set up, and prepare the food booth for the club that is going to run the booth or that night.

Prom Committee
Every year the Juniors get to plan and set up the prom for the school. So, since I was a Junior the Class of 2017 got to take on this task. It was really fun deciding the theme, planning how the room is going to look and making the decorations for prom such as the center pieces and goodies.On the morning of the prom a group of students from out class helped set up all the decorations at the Visalia Convention Center. Once it was done it turned out really nice. It was a difficult task planning and budgeting everything but it was done. |
