The Student Council of McCoy Elementary School will be made up of elected representatives from each homeroom in fourth and fifth grades.  Students must have parent and teacher permission to run for office or Classroom Representative.  The Council will be led by a President from fifth grade elected by the entire student body.  Five other officers (Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, Historian, and Parliamentarian) will also be elected by the student body.  All members are expected to maintain good grades (80 or above in all areas) and citizenship (S or above) and to be effective leaders for those they represent.  Teachers will be asked periodically to verify their respective member’s standing.  Faculty sponsors are Mrs. Bonnell and Mrs. Hoehn.

Fifth graders may campaign school wide for the office of President.  Fourth and fifth graders may campaign school wide for the other offices.  Candidates may prepare 2 posters to hang on the school walls during the week before the election (using school supplies to decorate only).  No flyers or other tangibles may be handed out during the campaign week. 

Students may run for homeroom representative by campaigning within their own classroom (up to you!).  Teachers can help ensure good representatives are selected by focusing on the qualities of leadership expected of a good representative during the week before the election.
