Student Council elections
Dear advisors and students,
We hope that you had an amazing summer.
The Student Council have already started to think of all the fun activities we will organize for you!
It is important for us to hear your voice!
Next week each advisory should elect one advisory liaison.
Starting September, the advisory liaison will be receiving a few survey questions weekly to ask their advisory and will report the result back to us.
Please find time each week for a 3 minute-Student Council announcement or survey.
If you want to be a Student Council member, tell your friends in your Grade. The Student Council Member Elections will take place in 2 weeks.
