STUDENT COUNCIL!

It’s time to elect our classroom representatives for student council.  

This election is not a popularity contest, and students should only run if they are ready to work hard and attend all meetings as well as participate in all activities decided by student council. 

Next week (Sept 14-18) is Student Council Election Week!

The student council is a group of students who are elected by their classmates to represent them (like a student government).  Members attend monthly business meetings where they discuss and plan activities, which improve our school and community.  It is a great way to meet other students while doing something worthwhile for your school.

We will have speeches and vote on Thursday, September 17. 

There is a stapled informational packet available to all students interested in running.  Please read over all the pages carefully.  Only decide to run if you are ready to work hard, attend all the meetings, and participate in all the activities.

We will elect 2 representatives from each fourth and fifth grade classroom.  

For ideas for your poster, look at some of these:

After the monthly meetings you must report back to the class what happened. 
Here is a sample video of how you can report back to the class:
