Founded by Students for Students
The Student Government is an organization made up of I.S. student leaders and a staff advisor. The purpose of the Student Government is to give the student body a voice. Each year, new officers and representatives are elected by their peers. This is where students, through their classroom representatives and officers, share their ideas, concerns, and desires. The representatives and officers meet to discuss activities and events rooted in the values of: Care, Achievement, Responsibility, and Environment. All students in grades 5-8 are given the opportunity to participate in these activities if they choose to do so.
