Student Council

The Westwood Student Council is the heart of student involvement at Westwood Elementary.

This student-led organization allows students to represent themselves and fellow classmates for the purpose of sharing ideas, interests and concerns. Student Council members work collaboratively to improve and enhance their community, both at Westwood Elementary and at-large. This includes planning school-wide events, hosting fundraisers to raise funds for school-wide improvements, and addressing student-based concerns on how to improve their educational experiences on campus. 

The Student Council is composed of classroom representatives from each of the 3rd-5th grade classrooms, as well as an Executive team consisting of a president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary. Every member of the student council is elected by their fellow students, and are responsible for representing their classmates' voices during the weekly meetings. 

The purpose of the Council shall be to:

• Work together to provide a way for students to have a voice, assist and engage in school events and activities

• Give opportunities for students to experience leadership along with encouraging student / staff / community relationships

• Foster the ideas of democracy through good citizenship 

• Develop the principles of responsibility, leadership, personal growth, self-discipline, and good citizenship.

• Respect all individuals in the school and community

• Provide service groups for our school and community, promoting school spirit and community involvement

• Encourage collaboration with each other to positively impact our school and larger community.
