Overview:

Student council also helps raise funds for school-wide activities and community projects. The council provides a form to enhance student participation in the life of Bateman School. 
 
How Are Students Selected: 
All middle school students are  invited to run for student council. The student council consists of one democratically elected party. A party is made up of a President (8th grader), Vice President (8th grader), Secretary (7th grader), and Treasurer (6th grader). Parties are responsible for creating a name and slogan. In addition, two fifth grade Ambassadors will be member of the council but elected separately from the main party.
