Here at Springville Junior High, we have a new 2015 student council! Student council is a student government that helps around SJHS and helps kids learn to be an ally! The student council does assemblies, Red Ribbon week, and many other things around the school.
To be in student council you have to make posters and be voted in. Kaitlyn Gee, a ninth grader on student council, said, “Getting in student council was a lot of work. All in all though it wasn’t too hard.”
According to Shane Stapel, another ninth grader on student council, if you do not know how to make posters or speak in front of a group, then you are not in luck because you have to be able to do those. Kosner Lewis, another ninth grader on student council, said, “It was hard getting into student council because there are a lot of students running that wanted to be in student council.”
According to Kaitlyn, student council teaches you to be more independent, productive, and take the lead. According to Kosner, it teaches you to include everyone and everyone's thoughts and ideas. Shane said, “It teaches you to respect people, be a hero, be a better person and be nicer. It is a great experience.”
According to Kaitlyn, she likes student council because all the people in it are so nice, and you mostly plan stuff like dances. They have meetings every Monday and Thursday at Quest Time. Shane added you get to plan fundraisers and Red Ribbon week. Kosner said, “I like student council because you get to be in assemblies and school activities.”
