The Student Council at St. Patrick’s School provides a structured opportunity for fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth graders to engage in governance and decision making while addressing important issues in their school, parish and surrounding community. 

Mission Statement:

Serving others by following Jesus’ path.

Guidelines:

All interested students who want to run for Student Council must do the following:

1.   Parent permission. 

Both students and their parents must understand that being in Student Council means putting in extra time before and after school helping out with projects.  Parents will be expected to be able to help out with many of the bigger projects.

2.   Campaign. 

Get the word out to your classmates about your interest in Student Council and why you would be good for this job.  Posters and handouts are acceptable forms of campaigning.  Treats, gifts and promises are not acceptable forms.

3.   Speech. 

Each interested student must be able to give a one minute speech to their classmates explaining why they would be a good representative and why they should vote for them.

4.   Willingness to work hard. 

We will be doing many projects this year that require time commitments and extra duties.  If you are unable to commit to extra time before and after school, Student Council may not be suitable for you.

5.   Leadership. 

Your classmates and the entire school will look to you for guidance and leadership.  It is important that you be a great role model for them.
