MBVM Families,

The Maternity BVM Student Council is an organization that teaches students the value of working together to help our community.  One of our goals is to help those less fortunate in our community. We achieve this by having our Make-A-Change fundraiser. Each month all students in Pre-k through 8^th Grade donate money to the selected organization in need by putting money in piggy banks located in their classrooms. This monthly fundraiser is very important to our school because it helps us learn the importance of helping others.

Another goal that Student Council has is to organize fun events for other students in the school. We plan events such as movie nights, holiday coloring contests, and a jellybean guessing jar. These activities are planned for Kindergarten through 5^th grade students.

Lastly, Student Council has a goal to raise money for the 8^th grade class trip. Some events that help make this possible are donut sales, sucker sales, junior high soc-hops, and sweatshirt sales.

The Student Council members work together as a group to make sure all goals are achieved. The students volunteer their own time and put a lot of effort into making Student Council a success.
