北京力迈：学生会独创活动【千灯之夜】

　　千灯之夜--千万不要小瞧了学生会

　　学生会是在学校党支部领导下、校团委指导下的学生自治组织，“服务同学”是它的宗旨，提倡自我管理，主动参与学校与学生的各项管理工作，教师的工作不是简单地“教”学生如何做某事。还必须始终努力向有好奇心的学生展示如何在现实世界中运用生活技能，引导他们创造性地策划、协助举办丰富多彩的校园活动。学生会是学校与学生的桥梁和纽带，是学生在校园成长的主要舞台。

　　【The Student Union Activities Club 学生会活动部】 Adam Jones 力迈德育处副主任

　　In mid-October of 2020, I was teaching Human Geography to Fairmont grade 11 when I mentioned that Limai would be having a haunted house for Halloween. I myself was charged with planning the haunted house this year, and I was keen for suggestions on how to decorate the house. I had been wrestling in my mind out what themes I should use that would be appropriate for the haunted house, and I asked my students if they had any ideas. The students ears perked when I asked the question, and their eyes were wild with ideas for the haunted house. Within one 45 minute class period, the students had planned all 4 themes for each room of the haunted house.

　　2020年10月中旬，我在费尔蒙特11年级教人文地理时，和学生提到力迈万圣节将搭建一个鬼屋。我负责今年的鬼屋规划工作，我很想从学生们那里得到关于如何装饰鬼屋的建议。我一直绞尽脑汁，想我应该用什么主题来装饰鬼屋，于是，我问学生们他们有什么想法，当我问这个问题时，学生们的耳朵都竖了起来，他们的眼神告诉我他们有很多想法。在45分钟的时间里，学生们为鬼屋的规划了4个主题。

　　After class I quietly wondered to myself - if these students of Fairmont 11 had so many great ideas for planning events - what about the rest of the students at Limai? I also thought back to my own high school days in America, where the Student Union students would actively plan events at my high school and implement our ideas. In all my years at Limai, there was no equivalent organization to my high school club. Of course we had a Student Union at Limai, but they didn’t plan events. Event planning, was simply not part of the Student Union culture.

　　下课后，我静静地想，如果费尔蒙特11年级的这些学生有那么多计划活动的好主意，那么力迈的其他学生呢?我还回想起自己在美国上高中时，学生会的学生们会积极策划学校的活动，实现学生们自己的想法。在力迈，没有类似于我高中时期的学生组织。当然，我们在力迈有一个学生会，但他们之前没有参与学校活动的策划。活动策划，还不属于学生会文化的一部分。

　　That mid-October day I set off to see if I could replicate what many schools in the west have. That is, a club made up of students that plan and organize events on campus. I went around campus asking students if they would be interested in planning and executing their own events. The feedback was swift and positive, and within a month the Student Union Activities Club was born.

　　十月中旬，我开始找寻能够在我校实行的西方学校的学生组织形式。也就是说，建立一支由学生组成的队伍，计划和组织校园活动。我在校园里询问学生们是否有兴趣计划和执行自己的活动。学生们的反馈迅速且积极，很快，学生会成员中的一部分，就组成了学生会活动部。

　　The concept was entirely new to the students . Our Student Union members were largely accustomed to being told which direction to take - what I was asking, was for the students to pave their own way in the form of developing activities and events to hold on campus. A change in this mentality, from producing those that can follow directions to those that can create direction, I knew, would not be easy. However difficult it may be, I knew the benefits to students would be numerous. This sort of society of organizers and planners instills in students a sense of self-discipline and leadership - it cultivates creativity and imagination, and rewards an adventurous and industrious self-starter. These are life skills. Not learned in a book, rather learned only by doing.

　　这个概念对学生来说是全新的，学生会成员基本上习惯于被告知应该走哪条路——我的要求是，让学生们以开展校园活动的形式自己来创造要走的路。我知道，要改变这种心态，从培养那些能够遵循方向的人，转变为能够创造方向的人，绝非易事。虽然困难重重，但我很清楚这对学生的好处是非常大的。这种由组织者和规划者组成的学生会能够培养学生的自律和领导能力——它还培养了创造力和想象力，会令勇于冒险和勤奋的学生受益颇多。这些生活技能不是在书本上学到的，而是通过实践才学到的。

　　I announced to the Student Union members that we would be creating a new club made of student organizers creating and planning events, the Student Union Activities Club. More than a dozen students volunteered, and then we had our first meeting.

　　我向学生会成员宣布，我们将创建一个由学生组成的新的学生组织，即学生会活动部。十几个学生自愿参加，我们召开了第一次会议。

　　In early December we already had our first event, and a rather daunting project at that. We set off on planning Limai’s first ever Winter Prom for grades 7-12. Not only did Limai now have our first student led club, now this first ever club was tasked with planning and executing our first ever prom. Upon conception, I had my doubts. However this first ever group of students who volunteered to pioneer Limai’s first ever party planning club would go on to amaze me. With teacher direction, the students set off on their first project - the Winter Prom.

　　在12月初，我们已经准备开展第一个大型活动，那是一个相当令人望而生畏的项目。我们开始筹划力迈中学部有史以来的第一次冬季舞会。我们不仅成立了学生会活动部，还准备筹备第一个学生会主办的活动。一开始，我有点担心活动无法很好的进行。然而，这第一批活动部的学生让我大吃一惊。在老师的指导下，学生们开始了他们筹备的第一个活动——冬季舞会。

　　Using their own unique skill sets, the students worked with their strengths to plan what would become an amazing student organized event. A student from grade 9 who had an interest in marketing and Photoshop handled the promotion of the Winter Dance by designing invitations, posters and banners. A student skilled in videography set off to make an opening video that would be played to open the Prom. Students with an interest in audio engineering volunteered to work the sound board during the performances. This amazing body of students worked with their individual gifts and strengths to create a community of developers that worked as a team to ensure our shared project would be a prom night the students all would remember.

　　学生们利用自己独特的技能和优势，策划了一场由学生会主办的精彩活动。一位九年级的学生对市场营销和Photoshop感兴趣，她通过设计请柬和海报来推广冬季舞会。一个擅长摄影的学生制作了一段开场视频。对音响设备感兴趣的学生自愿在演出期间负责控制音响设备。这个令人惊叹的学生团体利用他们的个人天赋和优势创建了一个团队，工作中相互合作，以确保我们的活动成为所有学生都会记住的舞会之夜。

　　And that it was. With nearly 4 weeks of tedious and constant planning, the students showed initiative, great creativity, organization and motivation in planning the schools first ever prom. The night was delightful. The students helped organize and plan 5 dance performances from the teachers and students, along with one music performance to begin the night. Students who attended the Prom received gift bags and private tables in the auditorium with flowers and lit candles under a ceiling of twinkling lights representing the stars. The students organized a professional DJ along with snacks and 3 raffles.

　　事实就是这样。在近4周的冗长而持续的计划和筹备中，学生们在本次冬季舞会的活动中表现出了主动性、创造力、组织性和积极性。夜晚很愉快。学生们帮助组织和计划了老师和学生的5场舞蹈表演，和一场音乐表演。参加冬季舞会的学生在小礼堂领取精美礼品，坐在事先摆放好鲜花和蜡烛的桌子旁，小礼堂上空悬挂着代表星星的闪烁灯光。我们邀请了一个专业的DJ老师，还有甜点和3次抽奖环节。

　　Each Student Union Activities Club member had a role during the Prom. From guiding students to their seats, to working the sound boards. The task I gave these students was not easy, planning Limai’s first ever prom. However, I could not have been more proud of the product these dedicated students crafted. The success of the Winter Prom was the success of the Limai Student Union Activities Club members. It was the students night. For the students, made by the students. In this founding of the activities club also comes an important reminder to us as teachers and educators. It is not the job of a teacher to simply “teach” how to do something. We must also always strive to show our curious students how to perform life skills in the real world. We mustn’t simply give our students a fish - we must show them how to fish.

　　每个学生会活动部成员在冬季舞会上都有一项工作。从引领学生到他们的座位，到操作音乐控制器。我交给这些学生的任务并不容易。然而，我对这些学生的表现感到无比自豪。冬季舞会的成功是力迈学生会活动部成员的成功。那是学生之夜。由学生组织学生的活动。在这次活动中，学生会活动部的成立也给我们作为教师和教育工作者带来了重要的启示。教师的工作不是简单地“教”如何做某事。我们还必须始终努力向有好奇心的学生展示如何在现实世界中运用生活技能。我们不能简单地给学生一条鱼——我们必须教他们如何钓鱼。

　　【You Just Need to Work Hard. The Rest is Up to Time

　　你只需努力，剩下的一切交给时间】

　　—— F11 李关智荣

　　The Limai Student Union is a mass organization made up of the students themselves. It is an organization that bridges the gap between the school and the students. The Student Union helps students increase the development of skills that are beneficial to learning such as social practice, volunteer service, and other activities to create a good style of study and school spirit while maintaining a good teaching order and learning and living environment. The Limai Student Union, which is composed of two major parts: the management department and the activity department, enables me to use my abilities, exercise myself, and better reflect my personal value.

　　力迈学生会是学生自己的群众性组织，是学校与学生沟通的桥梁和纽带。学生会通过开展有益于同学身心健康的学习、社会实践、志愿者服务、等活动，来创造良好的学风、校风，维护良好的教学秩序和学习、生活环境。力迈学生会由管理部和活动部两个大的部分组成，进入到学生会工作，可以使我发挥自身能力，锻炼自己，更好地体现自己的个人价值。

　　Being apart of both departments in the Student Union at the same time improved my ability to deal with things, but also improved my adaptability and leadership ability. As a member of the student union, I am in charge of the club department. I go to supervise and attend each club every day, teach students who do not follow the class, and publish the club summary on the public account at the end of each week. Due to the rich extracurricular life in the school, this is a huge and complicated project. With the Winter Dance, I was responsible for guiding the students and helping them find their sits at the dance.

　　本学期，学生会举办了篮球比赛与千灯之夜的冬季舞会。这两个大项目的举办不仅提高了我的处事能力，更提高了我的应变能力与领导能力。作为学生会的一员，我负责社团部门，每天去监督和考勤各个社团，对不遵守课堂的同学进行教导并在每周结束发表社团总结在公众号上。由于学校课余生活丰富，所以这是一项庞大而复杂的工程，但这项工作正可以体现我对于工作严谨认真的态度以及对待同学有耐心，有真心和有爱心。在这次舞会中，我负责指引同学，帮助同学找到自己的位置。

　　This was not an easy task. As students arrived at the Winter Dance, the classmates and friends all congregated together and did not know where to go. This caused a lot of work for me at a hectic time. However, I refused to give up and finally mastered the seating plan and divided the classmates sitting together not in their designated seats. This work has exercised me in turning complicated things into something that went smoothly. Through determination, I was able to organize activities well, and answer all student’s questions during the activities. I am most proud of making students have a good experience during the Winter Dance.

　　短时间内，同学们和朋友们都聚集起来，导致了我的工作量很大，但经过我一遍又一遍的不懈努力，终于熟练的把座位表牢记心中，并把坐一起的同学们分成一组带到指定位置。这份工作锻炼了我把纷繁复杂的事情变得有规律了起来，变得顺畅了起来，变得轻松了起来。能够很好的组织活动，在活动中解答每个同学的疑惑，并且使同学们有良好的活动体验是我觉得最骄傲的地方。

　　Throughout my high school years, the Student Union not only carried my dream, but also exercised my abilities and enriched my experience. In this regard, I want to thank the school for trusting me with this position, and giving me this opportunity to prove myself. Secondly, I want to tell all parents that the Student Union is an organization that helps students realize their dreams. It is a platform to enhance one’s social space and is a base to exercise ones own growth. Finally, I want to say to the younger students, live these best years of your life without regret. Society must favor those who dare to possess high levels of morale and have an unyielding spirit. As long as you know where you want to go, the whole world is yours.

　　在我的成长生涯当中，学生会不仅承载着我的梦想，更锻炼了我的能力，丰富了我的经验。对此，首先我想感谢学校对我能力的信任，给了我这个锻炼的机会，使我可以展现自己。其次我想告诉各位家长，学生会是一个可以让同学们实现自己梦想的舞台，是一个提升自己社交空间平台，是一个锻炼自己成长的基台。最后，我想对学弟学妹们说，请在最好的年华里做让自己无悔的事，社会一定是青睐那些敢于面对的人—他们有着昂扬的斗志和不屈的精神。你们一定会在某个普通的一天脱颖而出。只要你知道自己想去哪，并为之努力，全世界都会为你让路。

　　【坚持所热爱的】------胡佳琪

　　做为学生会成员，我们在学校布置万圣节活动现场，营造了贴合节日的气氛，在每一场篮球赛中帮助团队计分，维持现场秩序，为运动员们营造好的比赛氛围;和同学们一起策划学校冬季舞会，为同学们精心挑选礼物，布置舞会现场;大家一起齐心协力做好学生会工作，不仅丰富了同学们的课外活动，提高了学生的生活品质，激发大家积极向上的生命热情，也为同学创造了更好的交流，娱乐和展现自我的平台。

　　同时我也学到了如何更好的和老师和同学沟通协商问题，提高了自己的团队合作能力，综合实践能力，我做的工作也增进了外方老师们和同学们的友谊。

　　在我整个的成长生涯中，学生会承载了我的梦想，感谢老师给予机会，让我磨炼自己，拥有一个展现自我能力的平台。教会我很多实用的知识，给予我很多鼓励和帮助，教会我更好的沟通方式和团结的重要性。 同时也感谢父母把送我来到这所兼容并褒的学校，让我在这个快乐学习的地方，有更多开拓视野的机会增长知识与见识。”

　　我也想对学弟学妹们说： “任何一个美好的愿望，想要变成现实，都要我们付出不懈的努力和奋斗，锻炼分析问题独立思考的能力，剖析自己的不足 ，有时候大家会有迷茫，也会有觉得不够满意的地方，既然选择了，就要坚持下去，不留任何遗憾，很多时候我们需要改变自己，能够坚持自己所热爱的人一定会有无限的可能。“

　　【自我成长的意义】 ----索一贝

　　作为一名学生会成员，定然要踊跃参加学校活动，从开学初的开学典礼乃至学期末的冬季舞会，期间无数活动接踵而至，而最令我印象深刻的是诗词大会。武老师带领我们从策划，到修改，从布置，到筛选，从彩排，到展示，一次一次修改，一次次排练，才达到了最后的结果，在这次活动中，我既作为一名在台下帮助老师同学的”工作人员”,也是一名在台上努力竞争的”参赛人员”。这次活动，我认为证明自己的能力不是最重要的，培养自我更踏实认真的性格，发挥出自己最大价值才是重中之重。

　　本次冬季舞会的举行方式是十分特别的，学生会活动部的成员都为此次活动出谋划策，从选礼物开始，同学们合理分配预算，带有校徽的小熊玩偶，太空灯，手表，巧克力等丰富的物品。宣传时，在大厅有小推车，摆放着千灯之夜的宣传卡，也迎来了许许多多热忱的学生来帮忙。舞会开始时，老师与学生的演出博得了大众的眼球，节目之间穿插的抽奖环节动人心弦，包括我也是幸运儿中的一份子，学校请来了DJ来烘托气氛。

　　本次活动最值得骄傲的是同学们众志成城，团结一心，没有他们的好点子，也就没有这么愉快的冬季舞会，所以每一个人都是重要的，不可或缺的。其中也有困难发生，经过协调，最终没有耽误演出。本次同学互帮互助，DJ老师的到来跟进了时代的潮流，烘托了气氛。达到了让人轻松愉快的境界，我认为应向每一位成员学习，增强自己的能力;

　　进入学生会以来我得到了莫大的锻炼，老师们对我的谆谆教诲使我受益匪浅，学生会是提高学生综合水平的地方，激发自己的潜力，帮助老师和同学，与大家一起共同成长。

　　【自我价值的实现】-------学生会新媒体部高庆喆

　　作为一名新媒体人，我运用手中的器材记录下尽可能多的校园生活片段，并试图去找到镜头之间的联系，做出让自己满意的作品。由自己写稿，录制，剪辑的视频《Li Mai 1 minute》也在冬季舞会上呈现了出来。和大家分享这一分四十四秒背后的一百四十四小时。

　　刚收到这个任务的时候，我脑子里一片空白，老实说，我根本不知道应该做一个什么样的视频，我是从公立学校转来的国际学校，从来没有这样的机会可以给学校做一个视频，所以在构思阶段我耗费了很多时间，写了无数个视频脚本，至今还在备忘录里存着。后来，在一名好友的提示下，我选择了做最擅长的音乐视频。距离冬季舞会还有两周不到的时间内，要完成一百到两百个镜头的拍摄，并把他们剪在一起，对齐音轨，添加特效，添加转场还有很多其他工作，这令我非常抓狂，那段时间基本上一周七天，我有八天都在学校，走读生里去的最早，走得最晚。不过好在冬季舞会前两天完成了整个视频的制作。在把视频u盘交给老师的那一刻我如释重负。视频在冬季舞会当晚收获了很高的评价，在视频播放后全场响起掌声的时候，我体会到了一种从未有过的感觉，一种无法描述，无法表达的情感，即使我仍然认为不够完美。

　　人们总说摄影是遗憾的艺术，美好转瞬即逝，你无法记录下每一刻，不过对我来说这正是摄影的魅力，正是因为他的遗憾，你才会去学习后期完善你的作品，正是因为他的遗憾，你才会设计构图记录下最美的一面，也正是他的遗憾，你才会憧憬每一个下一次。这是摄影教会我的道理，加入学生会也是这个原因，在这里，我和学校各方面的精英们学习，锻炼自己提高综合能力，积累更多有价值的经验。

　　我不是一个墨守成规的人，更不是一个传统意义上的好学生，如果把我的经历比作一篇文章，那一定是一篇没有标点符号无法阅读的鬼画符，加入学校的学生会就是这段鬼画符的终止符，我相信在这里能学到的，是我人生中最珍贵的经验。最后送给大家一句话，“人生不是书里编写的故事，不会完美无缺，但我们却可以改写自己的故事，弥补自己的遗憾。 ”
