Being a teacher for student government is so much fun!\u00a0 The students and I are always trying to find ways to involve all the students and staff in daily, weekly or monthly events.\u00a0 It adds to the atmosphere of the entire school.<\/p>\n
The initial stage of planning begins in our weekly Monday meetings.\u00a0 The 35 students in the class, the Vice-principal, the school counselor, and I all meet weekly to discuss monthly themes and activities.\u00a0 We also meet quarterly with the PTSA and School Site Council to request community support.\u00a0 Once a budget is decided upon we hit the internet to find incentives, curriculum, and supplies that will meet our needs.<\/p>\n
