At
the beginning of the school year, students in
every classroom in each grade nominate a class
representative. These representatives act as the
go-between person for their class members and
the student council. These representatives meet
with their grade level sponsors several times
throughout the school year. They also serve in
different capacities, such as guides for new students
and during the tours for third graders.
All
of the representatives then run for the Schoolwide
Student Council. Each grade level meets separately
where each candidate gives a brief speech indicating
how he or she would best represent their grade
level. These candidates may place posters in the
hall the week before the speeches and may pass
out "buttons" saying "Vote for
Me." Once the speeches have been made, every
student is given a ballot on which to select two
candicates. The ballots are tallied, and the two
students are each grade level with the highest
number of votes become the six members of the
Student Council.
The
Student Council meets with administration throughout
the year to discuss matters of concern and interest.
They also become the representatives of LHMS at
any functions outside the school where they might
be needed.
