The world is full of many movements that are all about self-worth and realizing your own beauty. This year, StuCo is bringing those messages of empowerment to EHS.

StuCo will be hosting a beauty campaign the week of Jan. 25. Each day of the week has a different activity planned.

On Monday, a video featuring different clubs will be played and students will be given sticky notes so they can write why other people are beautiful. Once messages are written on the sticky notes, they’ll be hung up on the cafeteria walls.

Tuesday will be a “lazy day.” Students are encouraged to come to school in sweats and no makeup.

“This day is just so people can relax and not feel the pressure to be all done up for school,” StuCo member junior Beau Lewis said.

Another video featuring students will be played on Wednesday. This video will feature students and their opinions on the different aspects of beauty. StuCo will also provide clothespins to pin on other people to spread positive messages.

On Thursday, a Dove video will be played and the bathroom mirrors will be covered with positive messages.

On Friday night, the week will wrap up with a guest speaker spreading the messages of self love. To conclude the final night will be a ping pong tournament and a taco bar to bring everything together.

When a student came to StuCo with the idea, they loved it and wanted to make it happen.

“The idea came about when Jada Wright came to Dr. Cramsey with the idea,” StuCo member junior Beau Lewis said.  “However, she had moved away, but she talked to student council about it and we wanted to do it.”

The whole idea of this campaign is to transform students’ perceptions of beauty.

“The main reason for hosting this campaign was to inspire loving you and your own personal beauty,” StuCo member junior Sadie Starwalt-Cook said.  “Our goal, as a council, was to see our school transformed with beauty in one week and to see an overall change in our classmates’ view on their beauty and others’ beauty.”

StuCo is very excited for this event and cannot wait to see what changes will be made in the student body.

“The main goals are to embrace you for you, to not feel the pressure to do something because everyone else is doing it. We don’t want you think you’re flawed because everything about you makes you beautiful not just your looks,” Lewis said.  “We want to show students that this is an issue and that they are not alone. They should embrace themselves and love themselves for who they are.”
