Impact Week is a major event for our school’s campus and culture.
It requires a lot of planning, time, and hard work to be successful. The members of Student Achievement prepared a long time for this important week.
Impact Week is a new tradition at Rancho Cucamonga High School that started last year and is expected to continue for a long time. Impact Week takes immense amounts of hard work to arrange, and it requires a lot of dedicated students to make sure it goes smoothly.
When interviewing Ms. Landau, the advisor of Student Achievement, about the preparation for Impact Week, she shared, “We have a student recognition committee and a staff recognition committee that planned out all of the ways that we are going to recognize the staff […] and then the student group [is] focused on all of the little student slips and the candy and all of that kind of stuff, and what that would look like.”
Ryan Moretti, the student in charge of Impact Week, has his own committee of people that decides the theme of Impact Week and what the week’s events will look like.
When asked how Student Achievement has been prepping for Impact Week, Moretti explained, “We have been prepping for two months and then, unfortunately, we only had two workdays to work on stuff, so a lot of it [happened] after school and during class.”
Student Achievement sacrificed a lot of their time and worked incredibly hard to make Impact Week special for our campus.
Being a part of Impact Week can be exhausting, but also rewarding, after students see and appreciate the effort of what Student Achievement had put into the event.
According to Ms. Landau, “To see people get excited about that stuff, like face to face, because we are delivering it to them, or to see it on Twitter, like the positive feedback of people feeling better about themselves, that is definitely the best part for me.”
Impact Week was very successful this year with the new addition of the staff dodgeball game, and Student Achievement sending out at least 8,000 different kinds of recognition to our staff and students.
Moretti added, “This year has gone so much better [when compared to last year’s Impact Week] just because the classes were so motivated to do Impact Week right.”
Having this only be the second year of having Impact Week, this event has a bright future at Rancho Cucamonga High School.
Students on our campus appreciate everything this week has to offer and thanks Student Achievement for their continuous effort to make our school as wonderful as it is.
