Student Council

Lafayette's Student Council gives students an opportunity to take an active part in school decisions and to better understand the democratic process. Students learn the benefits and responsibilities that come with a leadership role in the student community. The Lafayette Student Council is open to students in grades 3-5. Officer and representative elections are in November and the Student Council runs through the end of the school year.

Student Council officers are traditionally in the upper grade. Student Council officer positions include President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. The Council officers decide on projects to help the school and/or community and they also organize the winter dance. Other projects have included talent shows (either student or teacher), spirit week, recycling efforts, and fundraisers (e.g. Box Tops for Education).

Class representatives include one boy and one girl (plus two alternates) from each class in grades 3-5.
