Projected Initiative for 2025-2026
At Team Ekam, the SOAR Initiative is the vision for a stronger, more energized Kent Laboratory Academy, starting with our leadership. We want to make sure student voices are heard, council members are empowered, and our school spirit feels real and alive. SOAR stands for Support, Organize, Amplify, and Revive - four pillars that will guide how we lead, create, and connect. This initiative isn’t just about doing more, it’s about doing things that matter. Together, we’ll build a school that reflects all of us.
Every student, from elementary to high school, deserves to be heard. Through regular feedback loops, anonymous forms, classroom visits, and open sessions, I hope to make sure your ideas don’t just sit in a suggestion box - they become things we take action on. Whether it’s about events, school spirit, or everyday experiences, I’ll fight to make sure your voice has power.
Student Council should be a place where leaders feel supported, creative, and clear on what they’re doing. I’ll introduce clearer roles, organized structure, project planning tools, and creative collaboration sessions. When people feel prepared and included, they show up with purpose - and that’s what we’ll build together. Additionally, I will hope to have clear objectives for everyone, so no one feels confused.
Let’s make school feel exciting again. From unique spirit weeks and school-wide competitions to events designed by students themselves, I’ll lead the charge in bringing more fun, creativity, and pride into KLA. Whether you’re in 6th grade or 12th, you should be able to say, “That event was made for me.” Everyone should feel proud to know that they are part of the KLA community.
KLA has something special - but we’ve just scratched the surface. I want to help rebuild our identity with cultural celebrations, student features, and a refreshed digital presence that makes people proud to call KLA their school. This is about more than fun - it’s about belonging. I will ensure everyone feels part of the community and can contribute in their own way.
