The student
council members, according to their by-laws, are elected by their peers to plan
and publicize community building activities, to encourage service to others and
to serve as “ambassadors” at school events. These Christian leaders also
communicate the requests and needs of the students to the administration.
Comprised of approximately twenty members, six elected officers from seventh
and eight grade plus additional elected representatives from fifth through
seventh grades, the Student Council works on every major event at the school.
Members help organize and run Open Houses, Dress UP/Dress Down Days, Field Day,
Elections, Prayer Services, Masses, the Walk for the Homeless, fundraisers for
charities, advisory activities, Blue/Gold games, the Talent Show, plus other
special events, like organizing ice skating, canned food drives and other
competitions to raise school spirit.
The Student Council officers meet once a week and work
very hard to keep students in the know and involved with school events. They
are joined once a month by the elected representatives, who help with major
projects. Without the Student Council's work, student involvement would be much
lower and many school events would not be as unique and well organized. In
addition, the students would not enjoy as many events that help bolster school
identity and maintain tradition.
