Student Council

Students have opportunities to experience leadership and the democratic process, and utilize fundraising and community service for the student body. A faculty member serves as the advisor. Fourth and fifth grade students are eligible to be elected as Student Council Officers twice a school year. Candidates for office learn to “campaign” and create and deliver a speech to their peers. Students in grades 3, 4 and 5 may be elected to serve as Room Representative for their classrooms. The Student Council meets every other week after school or at lunch as scheduled.
