Student Council

By Alexa G. and Helena H.

At Holmes School our student government is known as the student council. The student council has two primary goals; fund raising and serving not only the school but also the community. The student council consists of a president, vice president, secretary, treasure, and representatives.

The President helps run the meetings; helps organize events, and makes decisions with the student council. The Vice President helps the president with duties, schedules the school store, and fills in for the president. The secretary takes notes for student council so we can remember what happens at meetings. The treasurer deals with money, manages banking and the checkbook, and directs the school store inventory. The Reps (Representatives) explain what is happening in student council to their class; they also think of ideas for student council, and if you have any ideas for student council the person you tell is the Rep. Then they well tell student council your idea.

But, the question is, what does the student council do during meetings? What are some fundraisers student council plans to do? Well, during the meetings they talk about upcoming events, such as, school store, food drive, and fundraisers. Some of the fundraisers student council might do are sell recyclable bags that say “Holmes School”, and t-shirts, and make holiday-grams for people to send to others at the school for a small fee.

The Student Council is very important to Holmes School and its community.
