Ocosta Elementary School Student Council officers for the 2014-15 school year include President Kjirstin Hopfer, Historian Garett Jones, Secretary Darci Perrette and Vice President Izzy Arndt.
These officers were elected in mid-September and will serve for the full school year. Student Council positions were also recently filled. Each class in grades 3-6 has a representative on the Student Council.
Under the leadership of Advisor Wade Iseminger, the elementary student council is a very active group. The officers meet separately with Iseminger once a week and council meetings are also held weekly.
In the past, the Elementary School Student Council has run a school store daily before school and also four days during lunch. Using Associated Students Body funds, the council has sponsored school assemblies, donated snacks and water for special activities, funded field trips, purchased books for the school library, sponsored food drives, purchased trophies for activities and purchased tee-shirts for each student.
According to Iseminger, many of those same activities will most likely be on this year’s council agenda, as well as some new activities and events.
Most of the work that student council members do is accomplished during their lunch breaks and recesses.
