Welcome back Pelicans! The Student Council is back and it’s time to elect our officers for the new school year! The Student Council is our student government which handles a variety of fundraisers and activities for our school. Each September YOU the students elect six officers to serve as the leaders of the student government. The main officer positions can only be held by eighth graders. They are: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The 6th and 7th grade will also elect one Senator each to represent their grade. Anyone interested in running for a Student Council officer position for this school year MUST attend a brief general interest meeting at which the requirements will be explained. The meeting will be held on Friday, September 17th at 3:15 p.m. in room 268. Attendance at this meeting is mandatory for students running for a position, so if you cannot attend the meeting please see Mrs. Horn in room 268 or send her an email at shorn@pelhamschools.org.
Modified Field Hockey will meet each day this week at Glover Field Stadium at 3:15 p.m. for practice.
