Student Council Elections Held
This past week Student Council elections were held. Student Council is for grades 5-8 students who meet academic and behavioral standards. They must also be leaders and ready to serve their fellow classmates, the church, or the community through their service. The members get the opportunity to plan some of the schoolwide events, hold student council fundraisers, and plan their service projects.
What does it take to become a Student Council member, you ask? To apply, students had to get permission from their parents, complete an essay of 100 words or more, and make a campaign poster. Students then had to get three other students to sponsor them and remark why they should be on the student council. They also had to get two teacher signatures confirming that they would be a valuable member of the team. Finally, they have to attend two after-school meetings a month.
