Student Council

 

The Student Council is a government body of students elected by their peers. The Student Council promotes school spirit and community service. Representatives and members meet every Wednesday to represent their class in organizing many school activities. Student Council members report back to K-6 classrooms to keep the student body updated on school news and activities. Student Council members develop many important life skills during their terms including teamwork, organizational skills and leadership skills.
