Its primary focus is to encourage a sense of pride and ownership in our school. Activities are designed to include students from all grade levels. Ideas for these school wide activities come from the students themselves, through student council representatives. Each 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade class elects 2 representatives who attend bimonthly meetings. Meetings are held during lunch. The purpose of the student council is: To maintain communication between school administration and students To give students an opportunity to be heard in decision-making To give students a voice for ideas related to school improvement To give back through participation in service projects To be involved and learn leadership skills To show a pride and commitment to their school and community To give all students experience with democracy in action
