Charity Week

hi everyone!! thank you to everyone for donating to charity week! 2021 won the class competition so the proceeds went to mental health america. what went well: - raised $330! - more participation compared to Wildfire fundraiser - promoted well     - instagram spam (thank you PR)     - facebook infographics (thanks Marissa :))     - email to whole student body      - announced in homeroom  - teacher pieing videos well received (thx mr lee) what we learned: - very tedious and difficult to donate online      - long process          --> led to low participation  - hard to incentivize - no more online fundraisers this year probably  - there were a lot of problems with the link to donate     - website cache wasn't cleared, many people couldn't access website           --> coordinated with MV admin and fixed website issues for future use - mostly ASB participation  - mixup with pieing supplies for teachers--> hard to communicate/coordinate, should start contacting earlier  t

Match-O-Matics

Hi all! We just finished distribution for our goodie bags and wrapped up Match-O-Matics last week. We'd love to hear your thoughts on our event: What went well: Very high participation (~160 students filled out the form) Promo went smoothly; PR vid, graphics, email Cameo in the PR video Goodie bags were pretty substantial while fitting within our budget What could be improved: “Retention” rate: around 70-80 pairs made but 12 submitted Asking for email/grade in the matching form from the beginning Some questions felt like fillers and did not help in the matching process Distribution was slightly delayed Made a mistake with the first email and had to send out a correction What we learned: The website we used for our matching form showed us a lot of analytics about who started the form and never finished, what questions had the highest drop-off, and more; a lot of people come to check out the form but don’t actually submit Incentives aren’t enough to prompt social

spicy ramen challenge (staff edition)

hello everyone! last week tech released the spicy ramen challenge (staff edition) on the asb youtube channel, and we'd appreciate your thoughts on it: what went well: - the staff members seemed to have had a fun time filming  - the video is a good way to learn more about Lynbrook staff members what didn't go well: - the video is very long (40+ minutes) so people could've lost interest (it was also more difficult to edit) - some staff members might've prepared the ramen wrong, because some mentioned having "soup" when it should've been a sauce, which probably diluted it and made it less spicy (so next time adding instructions on how to prepare the ramen) - we probably could've done more promotion, because we only posted a trailer on instagram some questions for future versions: - some staff members recorded themselves on their phone and some forgot to do so, so for the future would it be better to just keep the video in gallery view or try to have indiv

Lynbrook Rejoicing In Rejection!

 Hey ASB! I know that our class discussion regarding the "rejection board" (not keeping that name) was very long and went past the allotted time, so I wanted to give you all a chance to say anything that you may have missed out on during class! Here are some of the items that were discussed in 3rd period itself: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anton - Add quote with rejection Sydnie - Anonymous submission form?     - Names blurred or cropped during submission     - Are all going to be censored or just some that wanted to Pranay - Talk to school psychologist     - See how much of a positive / negative environment this idea contributes to     - Does the purpose fit something good or not Aryan - People write unsavory things about the college when they are writing things Allison - Add a "next 4 years" or where people are going to the college rejection board     - Concerns about
