Credo may be a smaller school, but its hardworking community always comes together to benefit its students, plan amazing events and more. One of the driving forces behind this is the Fundraising Committee, a dedicated group that ensures the student body has the resources it needs. I spoke with Maya Leach, the committee’s director, and I was able to gather some insight on everything that happens there.
It all started when Leach was placed in Fundraising after interviewing for a co-lead student council position. Their Junior year, they ran for director and won. Leach describes their success as “deeply rewarding to be able to help the student body in that way.” The purpose of the club is to raise as much money as possible for the student council, which in turn funds activities for Credo’s students. At the start of each meeting, the previous week’s accomplishments and insights are discussed among the committee. Efficiency and awareness are two characters that play large parts within the club.
One of the clubs biggest successes has been the Snack Shack, which came about last year and now makes consistent appearances during lunch. While dedicating some lunch periods to working shifts can be a challenge, members enjoy the perk of picking out a snack afterward. Some things to keep your eye out for and look forward to are a concert at the Phoenix in January and a possible drive-in movie night. To anyone interested in joining a welcoming club filled with bright ideas and strong voices that simultaneously helps the school, fundraising might be the perfect fit!
