I am interested in forming a student council and would be interested in anyone else's experiences or recommendations. As a principal of a K-6 elementary school, we have had a student council for 7 years. We have an election each November after a Meet the Candidates assembly.
Activities are simple throughout the year.
Additionally, money raised buys each student a school folder. Student Council also publishes a newsletter two times per year. I have great teachers, two of whom volunteer as advisors. Would be happy to share more. It's a great idea.
