Student Government is all about helping students at Love of Learning have an amazing experience. This is a chance for older students to give back to the center, and to learn what it takes to run a business and be productive leaders. Not only will students be planning activities and bringing them to life, we will be discussing how governments function, what makes for successful governments, and how we can be contributing members in our local, state, and federal institutions.
 
Throughout the course of this class, students will take turns serving our learning center in a variety of offices: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, fundraising officer, media consultant, and an advertising board. These roles will give students real-world exposure in leadership, allowing them to experience the successes and failures of working in leadership role.
 
We will plan monthly activities, dances, student of the month, birthday recognitions, and all other activities at the center.
 
This class is designed for students who want to roll up their sleeves and work to make our community a better, more inclusive, and happier place. Unlike other classes, we expect students to be committed to more than just once a week in class. Students need to be willing to show up for all activities, and be up for the challenge of serving their fellow students for both semesters of the 2023/2024 school year.
 
***In order to be considered for student council, students must sign up for one of the following dates to have an interview with Master Jon. Acceptance to the student council will be based on this interview and their desire to work hard in this class. Please email Master Jon directly to schedule your appointment. Available dates and times are below. Interviews will be 10-15 min. in length, and scheduling is on a first come, first serve basis.***
 
June 7th: 10:00am-12:00pm

We anticipate that there will be eight students on the council.
 
We also encourage students we are doing student government, to consider yearbook as well, as these classes will work closely together.
 
All classes are full-year classes. Students enrolled in a Fall Semester class will automatically enroll for Spring Semester in December to ensure their place in the class. Pricing is per semester
