Fall is Upon Us!

Student Council was busy working this week to raise money for our upcoming Food Baskets for the Holidays. We would like to sponsor at least two families and provide all the fixin's they need for a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration dinner.

In order to do that, we are holding two fundraisers. The first is Candy Grams, where students can purchase shout-outs for their friends in a variety of autumn shapes--oak leaves, owls, pumpkins, or acorns. A Hershey's Kiss is attached and the Candy Gram is delivered to the recipient by a member of Student Council during PM Homeroom on October 30, 2015.

The second is a Candy Jar Competition; students can purchase a guess at the number of candies in the jar. The winner gets to take the jar home! Winner will be announced on October 30, 2015.

Come guess how many candies are in the jar! Winner takes the jar home!

 

 

 

Only 25 cents a guess! Come buy your guesses in Big Sky!

The secret is safe with us!

StuCo is also working to promote local community service events.

 

Here to Serve!

Student Council has begun brainstorming ideas and putting plans in motion to spice up student life here at PCA Middle School. Quarter 2 will have fundraising and community events that will engage students and help us learn about serving each other and our communities.

As a sign of our mission to serve, Student Council members proudly wear their shirts, setting them apart and identifying them as leaders on our campus!

In addition, PCA Student Council took some time on October 15th, during our Thursday meeting, to listen to presentations and vote for our officers.

Student Council is Up and Running!

 

Welcome New Student Council Members!

 

 

 

Two weeks ago, many students attended an interest meeting to learn a little bit about what we do in Student Council and what is required of a Student Council member.

What is Student Council?

 The Student Council of Phoenix Collegiate Academy is a leadership club whose members, and especially its officers, exhibit strong, positive role model qualities.  These qualities include showing respect to one’s self and to others, doing one’s best to keep grades up, attending meetings, and participating in club activities. Realizing that maintaining a strong, positive leadership role is important to our peers and school, the following guidelines have been established by the advisor of Student Council.

What does Student Council do?

 

 We SERVE.

 We serve our colleagues and classmates by giving them the opportunity to have their voices heard.

 We serve our school by creating and hosting events that will make our culture stronger.

 We serve our community by being role models and looking for ways to give back.

 

What are the requirements of being in Student Council?

 

 

 

How do we become a Student Council Member?

 

Students needed to complete a Petition for Membership that included the following three parts:

Students must initial and endeavor to follow the Code of Conduct

Students must write a short essay explaining why they are the best choice to represent their peers.

Finally, students needed at least 20 signatures of peers who felt that they should be included in Student Council.

Becoming a member was certainly competitive, but we have now selected our 18 members--a group that represents grades 5, 6, 7, and 8 with a representative from each homeroom.

 

Our first meeting was on September 10, 2015. It was a great time getting to know each other and the myriad strengths we bring to this year's StuCo group!

 

Introductions all around
