Student Council
T
he Student Council is very busy. We have done a ton of things in the past few months. First of all, we organized several booths at the Festival of Love, a first for the PYP Student Council! Our booths raised a huge amount of money that we will use to buy school supplies for a local Thai school. Another event that raised money for a local Thai School was our 1st PYP Book Exchange. When you donated a book, you received a discount to buy a new book. Each book retailed for 20 Baht so they were really cheap. We are going to visit a local Thai school on a field trip where we plan to organize and play games and activities with the children and also donate school supplies. The Student Council has prepared for Earth Month. Doing an activity for Earth Month has kind of become a tradition for the PYP Student Council. We created different challenges for the different grades so it’s more interesting. We have also used our survey information from our Sports Survey to meet with Coach K.
The Process
The students of grade 5 have reached another milestone by successfully completing their PYP Exhibition! To begin, all students took agency by selecting a special topic they felt passionate about. They dove deep into their interests to promote awareness about their specific topic.

We have completed various goals that showcased all of their knowledge and skills and helped our school community in many ways. they have learned within their PYP journey. - Burger, President
Ted Talks After in-depth research the students synthesized their knowledge and prepared a dynamic Ted Talk style presentation to share with our school community. The students incorporated within those talks an artistic piece of their choice which represented their topic conflict and resolution. The 14 amazing presentations were spread throughout two wonderful days of teaching, learning, and passion. The school community is proud of the accomplishments of each group. These incredible public speakers are prepared to make the big leap into the MYP.
