Olivewood Owls
Student Council
|
Did you know that even though owls are solitary creatures, a group of owls is called a "parliament?"
Parliament is a group of people who help govern a nation. Parliament is similar to the United States Congress. Countries like Great Britain and Canada have parliaments.
Olivewood's Student Council is like a parliament.

Our Purpose
The purpose of the Olivewood
Student Council is to build a positive school spirit and to introduce
our students to the workings of student government. While
representing Olivewood School, these student
leaders will gain responsibility, develop leadership skills, increase
pride in our school, and develop an overall awareness of events at the
local community and/or global level. Students actively participate in school
wide initiatives, lend their hands to community causes, and see
democracy in action.
The Olivewood Student Council provides an
opportunity for 3rd-6th grade students to learn leadership skills such
as team building, presentation skills, and strategic planning. Students
are also offered an opportunity to play a role in school decision
making.
