Why Join the Student Council?

Students who join the student council will develop leadership skills, acquire responsibility, develop team building, promote school pride, and a chance to interact with their peers. In Student Council, members will manage their time during their monthly meetings, determine an agenda, write minutes, and communicate properly.  This will allow the students to express their ideas and test their leadership skills. An excellent citizen is what society needs, and joining the Student Council will ultimately increase the chance for the students to practice this attribute.

Student Council is made up of 5th graders who are responsible students serving as representatives for the school. Student Council representatives are involved in planning and organizing:

• Recycling

• School spirit week

• Community Outreach
  

• Fundraisers

• And more…

To join the Student Council, students MUST fill out an application and have it approved by a parent or guardian and your teacher. Students in 4th grade will start the application process after Spring Break to be considered for Student Council for the following school year. All applications are DUE the 1st Tuesday of April. No late applications will be accepted. ONLY 12 members will be selected and will receive an acceptance letter by the 2nd Friday of April from the sponsor. Once accepted, the student will join the monthly meetings for the month of April and May.

Our Student Council is now in session. We meet every 3rd Wednesdays of the month from 3:45 - 4:45 pm.
