LaSalle-Peru Township High School Student Council

July is here.  Are you ready?

July is a busy month for student council members.  As everyone else enjoys the end of their summer, LP Student Council members start preparing for a terrific 2008-2009 school year.  Please check the website for updates and posted agendas and minutes as we move through the month and don’t forget to be at any committee meetings you signed up for, and of course the picnic!  The student council will be as good or as bad as you make it.  Chip in and let’s build a very strong unit that can get things done.

If you have any questions or concerns about what is coming up, please get in touch with Mr. Clydesdale.

The month of July will definitely have us hopping in student council.  Just a reminder, you should be receiving a letter in the mail towards the end of this month.  It will contain information about the committee meetings for July and the student council picnic.  Pay special attention to the date and time of the student council picnic.  We will be doing a lot of work that day (as well as hopefully having a lot of fun.)  At the picnic, we will be voting on changes to the constitution, learning about the new committee format,  discussing how the new meetings will work, and talking a little bit about upcoming activities.  It will definitely be a meeting you do not want to miss.  Keep having a terrific summer and enjoying yourself.  Watch for your letters and don’t forget about student council!

The Executive Board would like to announce the chairperson of the Homecoming Committee is Katrina Pioli and the chairperson of the Big Brother-Big Sister Committee is Marie Batty.
