Second semester we have a new student council! Sean Stapel, Savannah Grant, Clara Brotherson, and Tyree Strong. According to Mrs. Murray, the student council supervisor, the student council meets every Tuesday and Friday during Quest Time. They plan the dance themes, conduct Super Knight assemblies, and plan school activities. Some of the school activities include, Red Ribbon Week, RASK Week, and selling Valegrams for Valentine’s Day.
Mrs. Murray has worked with the student council for three years.“It is fun to work with students who have unique and fun ideas to improve the culture of our school, and who try to make our school a better and safer place for all students,” said Mrs. Murray. The process of getting in to the student council is pretty time consuming. Clara Brotherson said they had to write an essay on why they wanted to join student council, make a video (that people actually like), make a poster, and have at least a 3.5 gpa.
Mrs. Wimmer, a secretary at SJHS, also works with the student council. She says Sean Stapel and Cortez Nelson have been doing the Knights sign outside all year. They do a good job. Check the sign for upcoming events. “I love all of the student council kids,” said Mrs. Wimmer.
According to all the student council kids, some days they miss a lot of class for activities. Usually they miss fourth period, but on days that there is a dance they pretty much miss the whole day. They all really enjoy working together. “I really like being on student council. It’s good working with other kids and they are all fun to be with,” said Tyree Strong.
We love our student council and thank them for all they do for the school!
