2014-2015 Student Government
Student Government:
Student Council is an important part of our school. All members help with fund raisers, book fairs, charity drives, school climate, and communication. We are busy all year. This is a great way to be more active in your school and to get ready for high school. Student Council Members will meet with administration / advisor for a “working” lunch on a monthly basis. Members and officers must be prepared and are responsible for running the meetings in an orderly fashion. Administrator / Advisor is there to help facilitate the meetings.
Joining Student Council is a commitment. The work is important, and you must carry through with all of your responsibilities. This is good experience to prepare you for a job in the future.
