AND THE NEW GRADE 5 REPRESENTATIVES ARE...

Joslyn Ho and Daniel Lanni!

          

These students have been elected to serve as our fifth grade representatives on student council. As members, they will be the "voice" of our class, attending monthly meetings and helping to coordinate special events for the middle school to take part in throughout the year. We wish them the best as they begin their roles as public servants and positive role models of our school. Congratulations to all of our candidates, who worked hard on their campaigns and will continue to play an integral role in our school community.
