MES Student Council
The purpose of our student council program is to provide an opportunity for our students to experience and practice leadership skills while serving their school and community.

What does it mean to be a member? 
First of all, members are representatives for their class. They listen to classmates’ ideas and bring those ideas to the meetings. Secondly, information from the meetings is brought back to the classroom. Members make announcements of activities that affect classmates. Thirdly, members of student council are leaders of the school. They must make choices that reflect good character because their character reflects upon our school.

The council elects the following officers: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Historian, Public Relations, and Fundraising Chairperson.

Who can be a member of Student Council?
