Park View just held another wonderful Student Council selection. With over 70 applicants and 20 positions, it was wonderful to see so many students want to make our school a better place. Each candidate had to write a one-page essay explaining their best attributes and describing a time they served another person without thinking of being rewarded. They also had to dress up for their interview with Mrs. Reynolds who asked them, "Why should I choose you to be on Student Council?" "The responses were fabulous," Mrs. Reynolds exclaimed. "The students were professional and prepared, albeit a little nervous. I was truly impressed and wished our Student Council could accommodate all of them!" The last step in the selection process was completed by each child's teacher. They filled out a rubric, which indicated how the children perform in class with regards to homework completion, rule compliance, and example setting. Lastly, each child that met all three requirements were placed in a drawing.

"We try to make it as fair as possible," Mrs. Reynolds explained. "The class with the most applicants per grade level gets 4 of the slots, while the other classes get 3 each. We also try to keep it fair with boys and girls." Having the largest Student Council, Park View takes over 36 kids each year. Students can keep trying and with a little luck and great behavior, make it on at least one semester during their 5th or 6th grade year.

So congratulations to this fall’s Park View Student Council!
