Info for students
BIG BUDDIES / LITTLE BUDDIES
Younger students are paired with 4th and 5th graders, a highlight for many students and a wonderful opportunity for the youngest students to find a friendly face and mentor in the older grades. As Amy Weisberg, our ETK teacher says in her blog: "The children really enjoy spending time with the big kids and besides talking, the Big Buddies read them stories and have a little play time on the yard."
SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL
Class representatives are elected from 3rd, 4th and 5th Graders. Senior positions include treasurer, historian, secretary, vice-president and president who are elected from the 4th and 5th grade classes. Elections are held in November, to coincide with the presidential election.
Friday Morning Assembly
Friday mornings are started with a school wide assembly to which all parents are invited. Pledge of allegiance, class presentations, monthly attendance awards, and guest speakers.

School spirit days may include perennial favorite Pajamarama usually scheduled to coincide with the Book Fair, and 'onesie' day, siblings day and any number of other wild and wacky ways that the School Student Council dream up to make your year extra fun!
