PYP STUCO: The Value of Friendship By Ms. Leyla
A
t Concordian, our PYP Student Council (STUCO) is made up of student representatives from Grades 1-5. Being a part of PYP Student Council, students are able to practice their leadership, communication, and collaboration skills while serving our school. PYP Student Council creates PYP-specific events, raises awareness for school improvements, and acts as role models for the other students. In February, PY Student Council had a chance to celebrate the value of the month, “Friendship,” together with the community. The STUCO team interviewed a few PY students and asked them, “What is ‘Friendship’?”. Students replied: “Friendship means friends.” (Nath G1C) “Friendship means working together, playing together, and helping each other.” (Minna, Aiya, Torfa G2D) “Friendship means a friend who won’t leave you alone.” (Vicky G3D) “Friendship means the relationship of good friends.” (Prim G4D) “Friendship means friends who are there for you.” (Khao Yod G5S)”
The PY STUCO was able to hold an event called “Friendship Grams” to celebrate friendships within the community. Through “Friendship Grams” students wrote cards and chose a bracelet made by STUCO to send to their friends. As advisors, Ms. Tina and I were really proud of our students taking initiative to create this event. Seeing our students learning and growing from each other through events and activities led by PY STUCO is a valuable memory to be cherished.
