Wornick Jewish Day School has both an elementary and middle school Student Council.
In the elementary grades, the Student Council provides leadership
development education. Students in grade 5 campaign for the offices of
president, vice president, treasurer, secretary and commissioner of
publicity.
Campaign posters are created and speeches are given by the candidates at an
all-school assembly. Grades 1 - 5 vote to determine the winner(s) and class
representatives to the Student Council are elected by each class. The
officers and representatives sell snacks at recess, vote on fun days and
help with various tzedekah projects.
Students who serve on the Wornick Student Council build confidence, learn
teamwork and are introduced to the political process.
In addition to various fun days throughout the year, the Student Council
also practices tzedekah such as giving a donation every month to our
library, collecting General Mills box tops to buy equipment for the PE and
Gesher programs, and donating to Israel's Magen David Adom and to the Jump
Rope for Heart program. We also sponsor the Talent Shows here at Wornick.
One hundred percent of our money comes from the Monday through Thursday
morning Snack Sales. Thank you for supporting us.
