Student council for 7th and 8th graders is back! A Student Council is a group of volunteers (or elected) students working with school advisors, Priscilla Cruz and Kathy Keane. The student council provides a means for student expression and assistance in school affairs and activities. It gives opportunities for students to experience leadership, and encourages student, faculty, and community relations. Students will be fundraising, holding functions for peers, and maintaining records and elected positions: President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.

Each A day homeroom class will be able to have two representatives. Students should let their homeroom teacher know if they are interested!

Has your child lost a pair of their glasses? Please have them stop by Nurse Kelly's office. We have about 15 pairs of glasses looking for their owners.
