Introducing the Steelton-Highspire Elementary Student Council for grades 4 through 6! This year, the council is guided by advisors Ms. Schaffer, Ms. House, Ms. Pugh, and Mr. Richard.
Each classroom voted for two representatives to serve as their homeroomâs voice on the council. With a total of 34 students, the council offers a hands-on opportunity for students to engage in leadership and experience the democratic process.
Looking ahead, November 4th will be an important date, as representatives will have the chance to run for officer positions such as vice president, secretary, treasurer, and public relations. Students will then participate in an election to select the best candidates for these roles. Notably, 6th grader Violet Fulcher, who served as last yearâs vice president, did an outstanding job and has been nominated by the advisors to serve as this year's president.
Already this year, the student council has launched the "Snack Shack" as a fundraiser. The students manage this operation every morning from 8:00 to 8:30, with product offerings based on feedback from their peers. Through this initiative, they are gaining real-world experience in entrepreneurship, focusing on concepts like business management and supply and demand.
We are incredibly proud of the students' efforts so far and are excited to see all that they will achieve this year!
