New lower school Student Council members were inducted on Aug. 28.

A ceremony in the auditorium welcomed 14 homeroom representatives and four officers for the 2015-16 school year.

Library assistant Heather Stenger is the council’s adviser.

“The Lower School theme for this school year is ‘Up, up and away…Learning is an Adventure!’ This year I have the privilege of working with several returning members to student council and some new students to the school. The four officers and 14 homeroom representatives have so much wonderful energy and excitement. I can tell they all will be good leaders and they are the types of students that others can and will look up to,” said Stenger.

The students are responsible for leading the lower school student body and planning various activities and events for the year.

Stenger said, “The school’s birthday celebration next week Friday is the first event of the school year. The Student Council created activities for all the Lower School to enjoy. Some of the other events that the Council will be in charge of are Coins for a Cause from Oct. 1-30, the Halloween costume parade, the Thanksgiving paraliturgy, Teacher Appreciation Day in January and creating activities to celebrate Catholic Schools Week in February.”
Council officers are sixth graders President Rylie Goto and vice-president Ella Blu Pakele, treasurer Kylee Kamauoha-Phillips and fifth grader secretary Ashley Tom.
