Associated Student Body

The Associated Student body is a group of students that were chosen before the new school year begins to represent the school. They help the student body have fun during the school year. Many of the activities help students relax a little and take off the day to day stress from school work. In other words, they make the school year a memorable year for all. The Associated Student Body goes on many different field trips to learn more leadership skills. This helps some learn to speak before large audiences.

The ASB is composed of all students enrolled at Bell Junior High School. ASB officers are elected by the students and teachers, and are expected to be exemplary role models. The ASB leaders plan and organize all student activities. A variety of events are planned throughout the school year. Students who have a 2.0 GPA in scholarship and no N's or U's in citizenship are eligible to participate in extra-curricular activities, such as plays, spirit days, dances, contests, and other exciting events.

The ASB attended the CADA Conference. Throughout the day, the ASB council met with students from different areas in San Diego. They shared their ideas on how to promote and learn different activities to bring back to school. They also hold shadow days where they go to Morse High School and follow someone from that school's ASB council. The Bell ASB also have shadow days where many elementary schools representatives around the area join our ASB Council and shadow them in their classes! The purpose of this event is to have a feel of what ASB is like and also to experience a different school atmosphere. The challenge ahead for ASB is to fully represent the student body.

ASB Store

The ASB operates a student store daily before school, during lunches, and after school from 2:10 until 2:20 p.m.

ASB Advisor

The ASB advisor supervises the Council and makes sure that they are always on task.

The Events/Activities

Mostly every month the ASB council holds events such as dances, and spirit weeks. During Spirit Week, the student council creates many games on the circular lawn during both lunches and has the students participate for prizes. The dances are always an after school activity. This event is held in the Auditorium from 2:00 to 3:30. To be able to attend these Dances, each student must have a GPA of 2.0 and No N's or U's in their citizenship. Another event are the Festivals. These Festivals are based on seasons like: Winter Fest and Spring Fest. This is an event where ASB is segregated by grade level. Each grade decides on something to sell as a fundraiser during both lunches as well. There are many other clubs at school that participate in this event. Each club comes up with different ideas. All must be approved by the Student Council. The reason it has to go through each approval, is to make sure that not every club is selling the same product.

Good Deeds

The student council goes around the school with recycling bins three days a week, and collects items from each class that is needed to be recycled. There is something similar to that but happens everyday. The student body puts out trash cans before first lunch starts. These trash cans are not used for trash, but for the students to put cans or plastic bottles in. At the end of the day the scheduled students collect the cans and sorts them out by material. Then the ASB advisor will take the cans or plastic bottles at the end of every week and has them recycled. Community Service is a big event for the student body. The student body must have 5 hours of community service every quarter. They have done beach clean ups where they devote their morning to help clean local beaches. The ASB council awards the staff of their hard work with Lunch-Ins and Breakfast.

Each grade plans certain types of activities for their class, such as the Freshmen Lock-In or the Freshmen Semi-Formal.
