SGA Elections

Today we had an assembly to explain the elections for SGA (Student Government Association). Students who are interested in running for an office got a petition form and must collect 30 signatures and an endorsing signature from a teacher. These forms are due Friday before noon. 5th-graders may run for President, Secretary, or Treasurer. They have to maintain good behavior (no U's on the report cards) and good grades (may not make 2 F's on report cards). Candidates for officers will have to give a speech and be willing to attend PTA meetings! Each classroom will also elect 2 representatives to attend the meetings. The whole purpose of SGA is to give students a chance to share their ideas on improving their school and to develop leadership skills. Good luck to all of those who are running for election!
