About the Project

This project will allow scholars in 4th-6th grade from all academic and social emotional backgrounds to develop life long skills, increase self-esteem, and learn about the democratic process. In addition, scholars will have opportunities to enhance their writing skills, listening skills, speaking skills, peer-to-peer relationships as well as student-to-adult relationships on campus. The entire TK-6 student body will benefit from the work of the council, as the council will strive to enhance both the physical and social environment for all scholars. The Parkway student council will start with an informational assembly for 4th thru 6th grade scholars. The assembly is meant to get scholars excited about being on the Parkway council! The assembly will encourage ALL scholars to run for either President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, or a 4th-6th grade class representative. Interested scholars will attend a lunch informational workshop on how to complete the required student council applications and give scholars an opportunity to ask specific questions about the election process and the overall goals of the Parkway Student Council. To summarize my project, the aim is to teach scholars about our democratic process and to empower them to express themselves through their voice!
