Student Council Is Coming
Grades 1-5
Is your child interested in running for Student Council? Please talk with your child about being a part of Pomona Elementary Student Council through officer positions, class representatives and taking an active role as a student body member. This is an opportunity for students to share ideas, make a difference and be a leader. If your child runs for an officer position or classroom representative, he/she will complete and turn in a Letter of Intent, prepare and present a speech and make posters for his/her campaign. If your child is voted into one of the positions, he/she will meet twice a month on Tuesday mornings before school from 7:30-8:00 in Kathy Hilding’s classroom. Your child will also commit to devoting time additional time for Student Council events. Student Council officers and representatives should value Pomona PAWS: Practice respect; Accept responsibility; Work hard; and Be safe!
