Is Student Council Right for You? (3rd-5th Grade)

What is Student Council? This question could be ringing around in your head dying for the anser. Well, here it is! If you are interested in being a student council representative this year, then here is what you have to do. First, you should complete the application form (printed on blue paper in the front school hallway near the office) and have a community member write a short essay about why they feel you would make a good student council representative. Then you will write a short essay about why you think you would be a GREAT student council representative. Two students per class will be chosen as representatives. Each student will share their essay and the essay a community member wrote about them with their class on September 2, 2013. Then each classroom will vote to see who will become their student council representatives. It's a BIG responsibility. Below are listed five of the most important characteristics. 1. Be a role model and demonstrate leadership in the classroom, school and community. 2. Promote school spirit and pride in our school. 3. Attend all general meetings (first Monday of each month) of the Student Council and committee meetings (held at different times throughout the year). 4. Help plan activities and make important decisions as a representative of your school. 5. Talk and listen to other students in your class and bring their ideas and concerns to each meeting. **If you think your child would do great in this position, please have them fill out the application and bring the necessary materials to class on Tuesday, September 2!
