Stunning Student Council

Ringgggggg! The bell just rang and the fifth grade doors are opening; feet are scurrying to run off to student council to help out the teachers for the morning. The students leave at 8:20 and then they will crowd the floor as they go back to their fifth grade classrooms at 8:45. Why students participate in student council is because the students think it’s a good thing to do to make Chickering School a better place for kids “to learn, laugh, grow, care and make a difference”. The ‘specials’ teachers they help out in the morning are Mrs. Pelletier, Mrs. Greenwald, Mrs. Chase, Ms Riordan, Mrs. Gillis, and Mr.Harte.

Library Student HelpersHow does a student become a member of student council? To be on student council, at the beginning of the year, you had to complete an essay that asks you what you would do if you were on student council.

During our last student council meeting (we have one meeting every month) we talked about our blue ticket awards. Our school’s blue ticket awards are blue slips that are given to you by a teacher or student who thinks that you are being nice or helpful. Over the last month students and teachers have not been giving out as many as usual. To help students and teachers remember to give them out, we have worked together to put a reminder on the school’s lobby monitor and we also put signs up in all of the hallways.

At the beginning of the year, when the student council leaders decided whoComputer Lab Helpers would be on student council, there were so many they had to spilt us up into two groups. The group that was going to be at the first half of the year was called the A group. The group that was going to be at the second half of the year was called the B group. Who was going to be in what group was decided by the first letter of their last name. The people whose last names started with the letters A-J were in the A group, and the people whose last names started with the letters K-Z were in the B group.

  1. Dear Ceci, Ellie and KB,
    We loved your post about student council. We loved how you explained everything about student council. Maybe you could have had more details of what student council members are doing for Chickering School. Other than that we think that your post was amazing and it looked like you worked very hard on it.

    I like how in your blog you showed kids doing their morning routines for Student Council. Do you girls know how many blue ticket awards have been earned so far this year?
