At Jefferson Elementary, our Student Council and Leadership program gives students the opportunity to develop leadership skills, build school spirit, serve their community, and make a positive difference on campus. Students in grades 4–6 can apply for a variety of leadership positions, including President, Vice President, Secretary, Commissioners of Athletics, Grounds, Community Service, Character, and Spirit, as well as Fire Marshall. Each role provides students with meaningful responsibilities and opportunities to work alongside classmates, staff, and administration while learning the importance of teamwork, responsibility, service, and leadership. Through Student Council, we encourage our students to lead by example and help make Jefferson a welcoming, spirited, and caring school community.
