On Thursday, the HMS Middle School held its very first student council election! The entire student body was so excited about having an election. Students were excited to run for student council, and many of their friends helped with their campaigns.
Students learned a little about the history of voting in America and were able to simulate what voting will be like once they turn 18. The middle school teachers said, "It has been a joy seeing so many young people excited about the voting process!"
The 2023 Student Council winners are:
- 5th Grade Representatives: Kate Carlin & Kalvin Sadler
- 6th Grade Representatives: Madison Fritz & Skyler McCarter
- Secretary: Vivianna Delacruz
