Student Council
|
St. Anastasia is proud to have a Student Council beginning its second year in existence at our school. The mission of the Student Council is to unite students, faculty and staff in
an atmosphere of school spirit and pride by:
-
respectfully
representing the student body
-
maintaining and
reinforcing the bond between students, faculty and
staff
- increasing student
morale and school spirit
-
serving as liaison
between administration and students
- fostering communication
and promoting a positive attitude between faculty and
students
- encouraging community
service through example
Students running for
the four major offices (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary) were first chosen by a primary election narrowing the
interested candidates down to three for each office. The final three candidates for each
office then gave a campaign speech on "St. A
Live" last spring and final elections were held. Each class in grades 4 through 8 chose its
representative within the classroom with primaries, speeches and
elections.
Last year, the Student Council was responsible for working with administration on a special Veteran's
Day ceremony. They also sponsored a very successful book
drive collecting many books for the Hope Rural
School in Indiantown. Mr. Hoeffner asked
the Student Council to choose the design for the new school jackets that are available in
the uniform store this year.
This year, the Student Council plans to be even more involved with several activities in the works. Stay tuned for more great news coming from the St. Anastasia Student Council!
