​Student Led Conferences October 2018

 
Student Council took on a leadership role in decorating the Grissom School front entrance walkway to provide a welcoming fall season look to the school for our visiting family guests who attended Student Led Conferences in October.  
 
 
Student Council Representatives and Officers Greeted our incoming families during the Student Led Conferences offering warm or cold cider, and giving tours or directions as needed. 
 
 
They also decorated the entryway of our school with lovely decorations. 
 
The student created their own portfolios they could show their parents. These presentations included artifacts from different classes to highlight their best work! 
 
Thanks to the Student Council for their hard work in decorating the school and making our guests feel welcome. Thanks also to all the parents who attended to celebrate their students and support their teachers! 

What is Student Council?

Student Council is a fun place where the students can come together, grow as leaders, and plan for Grissom’s spirit days and socials. The students are able to plan what they want and they know what other students would want to do.
   

Student Council is a way to build leaders and respect authorities. These students will then be able to set an example to those in their classes. Student Council also teaches students how to communicate with others. In the meetings, kids express their ideas through talking to others and our staff advisor, Mr. Gingrich. In order for the classes to know when school events are (and why they are happening), the representatives and the alternates tell their first hour class what is coming up and how to do the events.
