Fountain Valley High School (FVHS) had its first Interclub Council (ICC) meeting of the 2016 school year last Wednesday to discuss upcoming events with the various club presidents.
The 50th Anniversary Celebration will be from 7:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Michael Eich, the art teacher, spoke about his plans for the Spring Fest this year. He wants a whole community celebration where old administrators and FVHS alumni can come to visit.
Eich plans to have the band set up around 5:30 p.m. in the bowl and the dance teams, cheerleaders, choir, and drama to have performances during the Spring Fest. During the week of the Spring Fest, there will be dress up days from the decades and the passing bells will play music from that decade instead of the typical bells that ring.
Eich and Josh Lamar, Assistant Principal of Activities, both stated that they have eliminated culture fair because it has lost the excitement and hype and it was only fun when done during lunch. The Spring Fest will be a new tradition for FVHS students.
“The culture fair was huge during my freshman year but slowly died down the following two years. I think the transition from our annual Culture Fair to Spring Fest will be something new and entertaining for all of us. However, the change shouldn’t be too different; we’re simply moving away from the culture aspect,” said Serinee Tran (’16). “This will allow our event to be more flexible which explains why the 50th Anniversary Celebration is incorporated with this year’s Spring Fest.”
As for clubs selling food during the festival, they need to bring their own tables, chairs and equipment. There will be no access to any outlets and no oil cooking will be allowed. Advisers will also have to be present the entire time of the festival, including set up and clean up.
“Regardless, clubs will still be able to enjoy selling a wide variety of foods and organizing fun activities. Hopefully, this event will be successful and carry on for the next few years, ” said Tran (’16).
Clubs will also soon be choosing the type of food they will sell along with the location in the bowl. That is all to be decided soon and will be based on the promptness of the monthly club meeting minutes.
