All four class councils are planning fundraisers at the school and local businesses to increase their class treasuries to offset future prom costs. 

Andrew Schwertner, Michael Schloss, Drake Du and Merit Wagstaff, the new class presidents for this school year are planning and executing fundraisers to raise money for their respective prom. Class council is a club for students interested in raising money for prom, hosting fundraisers and being more active in the school. Senior president Andrew Schwertner has saved up money for students with disabilities in order to provide a scholarship instead of spending all the funds on prom.

 “We took 2,500 dollars and we’re putting it in this different account and we’re giving 500 [dollars] to a student with disabilities for five years,” Schwertner said.

 Schwertner hopes to raise even more money to continue the scholarship for years to come. Junior president Michael Schloss has lots of experience in class council since he has been president for the past three years. Schloss is trying to raise 10,000 dollars for extra festivities at prom.

“Basically it’s giving back to the people so you can win like gift cards and money and stuff like that. I think some of the money will go to after prom too,” Schloss said. 

Schloss also wants to get a money cannon with any extra money he might raise. 

“I’m pretty sure we can get money cannons so you shoot money out onto the dance floor. We’d like to get two money cannons if that’s possible,” Schloss said. 

Senior year has less to do with raising money, and is mostly figuring out what to spend the money on. Freshman math teacher and the senior adviser for class council, Jenna Repp, explains what she thinks senior class council is about.

“Senior [year] is mostly about spending the money and sometimes having small fundraisers. It’s the fun year,” Repp said. 

The sophomore president and past freshman president, Drake Du is going to reutilize a few successful fundraisers that other classes have done in the past, and is starting to plan new fundraisers for this year.

“This year we’re planning to work [at the] concession stands, we’re also thinking of doing more community oriented fundraisers like a color run, things that are more than just going to a restaurant and eating there,” Du said.

Freshmen are new to the high school experience, and class council is a way to connect to the new surroundings. Merit Wagstaff, the ninth grade  president, and a new student at Revere, is already planning fundraisers for the year. 

“The main thing I’m thinking of doing is creating fun events, like dodgeball or hide and seek, in the school if I can,” Wagstaff said.
