Project Say It! and Project Playlist

Hey there!

Last Wednesday (14 May), our school held our first CCA Day. CCA Day, also known as Camaraderie, was a day when various CCAs went to find out more about the other CCAs in our school. The Interact Club had our own booth where we sold popsicles and allowed people to write well wishes on our chalkboard for Project Wishboard. In addition to that, we asked if TKGians wanted to dedicate some songs to their friends or teachers for Project Playlist, so that we could play the songs and read their messages out loud during Sports Day.

Also, we conducted Project Say It! during Camaraderie.  As I mentioned in our earlier blog post, Project Say It! is a project where TKGians and teachers can say something nice and encouraging to someone by using a loudhailer that the FOS ambassadors set up. Mr Ken helped us place the loudhailer at the canteeen during recess and we invited anyone and everyone to say something nice.


Our teachers, Miss Munira and Mr Yong (whose picture we forgot to take), also came in to say something nice to their students!



 Overall, Project Say It! was extremely fun as some students shared some jokes, sang songs and said some "lame pick up lines" just to make others smile. The teachers also came up and encouraged their students to study hard and thanked them for being cooperative, which was an extremely sweet gesture. ♥

Next up was Project Playlist. Sports Day was held last Friday (16 May) and we had Project Playlist on that day. We played songs like Counting Stars by One Republic, Don't Stop by 5 Seconds Of Summer, and many others.


Each dedication cost 50 cents and the money collected was given to the Needy Pupil Fund. Katherine, Chloe and Claire were in charge of playing the songs, while Xiao Xuan collected the money for the Fund and Priyanka helped to collect the dedications. Li Ling, Chloe, Tammie and I read out the dedications, and for one dedication Tammie was asked to read it out in an accent, which was hilarious.


The response was overwhelming and even after we had stopped requesting for dedications, many people still asked if they could dedicate more messages! Eventually, we accepted more of them as the Sports Day was paused due to a lightning alert. However, at that point, we had already played most of the songs. :( Thus, we began to take dedications AND song requests. Some teachers even dedicated songs to their students and colleagues.  :)

Overall, these two Projects have been wildly successful and once again, all of us would like to sincerely thank you for your continuous support.  ♥  Special thanks to Mr Ken for setting up the loud hailer for us and Miss Hafizah for asking permission on behalf of the FOS ambassadors to have Project Playlist during Sports Day. Your little sparks of kindness have made our projects a success.
