Our school needs more active student participation. If we want to keep enjoying great programs and activities, more students need to get involved. Last year, the student government sponsored one school-wide event each month. More than 50 percent of the students in our school attended at least four of these events. In addition, programs like the peer tutoring program and the summer intern bulletin board are organized by student government committees and supported by student government fundraisers. At least 40 percent of the school's students take advantage of one of these programs as well. Yet only 10 percent of the school's students are active in student government or serve on committees. Effective student government requires the involvement of as many students as possible. We can't keep these programs going without your help. So, if you aren't already involved in student government, think about joining.
