Student Council Achievements
On November 19th the Resurrection Student Council officers and school administrators signed the new Student Council constitution, which shifts the organization from a club to a governing body acting as a liaison between the student body and administration.
Kudos to the Student Council leaders on listening and responding to the request of students to implement a Resurrection Homecoming Dance. On Saturday, November 1st, students and their guests enjoyed a fun evening of music and dancing at Resurrection.
Congratulations to our students for their leadership and action.
