Club Feature: Student Council
Student Council aims to create a fun and inclusive student body. Anyone in upper school is welcome to be a student representative. In order to have a core position, you must be a representative for a year; then you can run the following year. Everyone is only allowed to miss three meetings. Student body treasurer Rafi B. says, "I am included in Student Council because I want to create a stronger relationship between the student body and the members on student council. I also want to make a difference in my school." Rafi also says that student council "has multiple goals to make an impact, such as having a more streamlined way of connecting with our student body." You can thank student council for the fun pep allies, amazing school dances, bake sales, and more.
