Every year, Fountain Valley’s Associated Student Body (ASB) and Senate spend many hours to create hundreds of posters of all sizes for the annual Bell Week.
The colorful and humorous posters build up Fountain Valley and put down Edison using a variety of puns, allusions and doodles that students find entertaining and oftentimes students are found taking photos in front of them.
To complete the posters by Bell Week, ASB begins early in the summer. By the end of summer, they aimed to complete 40 to alleviate the frenzy of last minute poster-making during the school year. Alongside ASB, Senate had two weeks to create 25 posters.
ASB Parliamentarian Ally Bebout held “postering parties” to allow ASB and Senate to collaborate. Those poster sessions produced 100 posters and 2 murals.
Over the weekend, members met at school to put up the posters so that on Monday morning, students could see hundreds of posters covering the inside and outside of campus. The remaining posters are saved and taped to the floors in the halls and outside on the day of the Bell Game.
Although tacking up posters after the Glow Show is tedious, ASB members are driven by seeing their posters the following day.
“It seems like most students love our posters and how creative they are! It’s definitely something to look forward to during the week,” says Bebout.
