How the PVS Morning Soar is Created

Part of our What’s New in the PVS Neighborhood series

Every Monday morning, the high school ASB conducts morning meetings, more popularly known as “The Morning Soar.” The Morning Soar is very helpful to us students; it gives us a little insight on what happens in the week and makes it fun and entertaining for us all to enjoy. For example, a typical “Morning Soar” includes the weather forecast for the week, scheduled club meetings, ASB events, sports announcements, and Nevan Owsley’s special nefarious weekly updates on his “Super Villain” club. In today’s PSA post, I asked the master of it all, ASB leader Evan Wang–the writer of every Monday morning meeting–how he goes about creating The Soar. He told me that every Sunday night he begins the process. It starts with looking at the schedule for the week ahead. He then just writes. I asked him if there was any sort of process, and he said, “No”– he just writes away and lets his mind take over. Finally, he sends the work over to the selected speakers for that Monday. Then, it is read to the entire Middle and Upper School, and history is made. 

Evan says that every Sunday night about 11 p.m. it dawns on him that a “Morning Soar” needs to be prepared for Monday, 8:45 a.m. Photo Credit: Evan Wang
