Student Council is offered to 3rd-5th grade students. Four officers (5th grade only) and two representatives per homeroom (3-5) are selected by their peers through an election process in the fall. After initiation in September, officers and class representatives meet once a month from 7:45-8:20 am. Students work on a variety of projects to benefit FMES and the surrounding community, including canned food drives, the school store, and various fundraisers to support learning. Student Council members represent the school and encourage others to respect themselves, respect others, and respect the mill. Since this club is formed through the democratic process, once elections have taken place, no new members are added until the next school year.
Purpose: To provide leadership opportunities for students, provide the student body with a model of the democratic process, provide the student body with a forum for student ideas, concerns and/or needs, provide an organizational body for students to be involved in school and community service projects, and to sponsor projects that encourage school spirit and academic success.
