My Project

My fifth grade leadership students are the heart ,minds, and hands of some of the school activities. They promote school pride, spirit, and inspire their classmates to actively participate in school events. But more importantly, the fifth grade leaders develop a positive climate for all elementary students. Additionally, they also build communication with all grade levels and serve as their voice to enrich the school's atmosphere and establish friendships amongst their peers.

The fifth grade leadership council creates banners, decorates the quads, hallways, advertises school events by using paint, paper, glitter, stencils, and plenty of Gorilla Tape to stabilize it on the walls or school buildings.

For example, the fifth grade leadership council could create a banner that promotes the theme of kindness or Red Ribbon week.

In addition, fifth grade leadership would like to have incentives such as miniature Funko figures to raffle to students.

The pencils requested on our supply listed would be used to fund our "Fall Grams" for students.

Since the Fifth Grade Leadership Council's theme is "A Minion Reasons to Love Fifth Grade Leadership," I thought it would be an excellent idea to have a Minion in the classroom as our mascot.

There's always a reason to showcase fifth grade's leadership dedication to providing a service to the elementary school community.
