Fresh Start

2016 has been a great year, filled with change and many accomplishments. Homecoming was among one of our most greatest successes this year and I'm glad to have been a part of it. De Anza is notorious for float season, and we always manage to put on a show the neighbors will never forget. We've all worked hard together to pull of something that felt like the impossible. We've created a strong reputation within the student body, due to the tremendous teamwork of the Leadership class, student body, and of our faculty here at De Anza.

Although we've had a great year so far, there's always still room for improvement. For example, students tend to only show the most spirit throughout their junior/senior years. To help build a foundation for De Anza' s school spirit, we should promote our upcoming school events in a way that is appealing to everyone (prizes, competitions, etc.). It would be a fun idea to host De Anza's very first Don Finals (or Play-offs, Championship, etc..), in which the classes come together to compete for the title of the year's  "Don Champions." As a school, we've always been trying to establish traditions, and I have a feeling this one may stick. We, as a school, should be more open to trying new things this year.

All in all, our hard work has paid off throughout the school and community. In fact, since homecoming was such a hit, we should create more communal services and events to put De Anza on the map. There is always room for something new and different and we should listen  to the community. After all, we are here to make change further beyond our reach.
