This year we have been busy with our presidental election, and now Springville Junior High is preparing for the election of the student council for 2009-10. Students who wish to participate in student council for next year must be going into ninth grade next year. Students will be able to pick up a packet containing information on March 6th in the front office. Students who wish to apply must have a 3.0 GPA or higher.
Student council members are the student leadership of the school. They are in charge of getting ready for the dances, Red Ribbon Week, and Random Acts of Kindness Week. They are the leaders and examples in the school. Student council members also have the opportunity to give input about our school.
Students who apply and get elected to student council will have to sign a contract saying that they will do their best to keep order in the halls and throughout the school. “They are the youth leaders of our school,” Mr. Knudsen, vice principal at Springville Junior High, explained.
Mr. Knudsen went on to say, “I encourage anyone who is willing to work hard and wants to make a difference to apply.”
When asked why he applied, this year's Vice President Mike Bartholomew said, “I thought it would be a fun thing to try out for, plus I wanted to try and help make the school a more fun place to be.”
