January and February are often referred to as the "dog days of winter," as cold days drag on and students dream of summer break. 

Maroa-Forsyth Student Council Co-President Sophie Crowe told the Hart Media Group on the WHOW High School Road Tour that during this slow time of year, they put on things like the Winter Assembly and host dress-up days to get kids excited for school. 

Crow works with her twin sister and Co-student council president Katie Crowe, who adds they coordinated the painting of senior parking spots this year, hoping students feel welcome and feel a sense of belonging. 

Similar to other student councils, the co-presidents add that when it comes to finding ideas for themes, dress-up days, or other events, they turn to social media to find ideas the student body will enjoy.
