The Carbon School District weekly update brings attention to Mont Harmon Middle School Student Government. Castle Country Radio was able to sit down with two student body officers and their advisor to talk about what they do for the students at Mont Harmon Middle School.

The student body officers meet each day for a leadership class where they plan activities/events for the school. “We are very fortunate because we have a Student Government class period every day, so I get to be with them for an hour every single day. Which opens up a lot of doors to doing a lot of things for our school and our community. We just recently walked down to where the Christmas Tree Regalia is going to be held and helped clean the windows in that building, so we like to reach out to the community to see what we can do to help them as well,” said Mrs. Buscarini. This was a way for the Student Government to give back to the community.

The group of student officials are planning for their annual Red Ribbon Week activities/events, as Student Representative, Becky Black explains, “Red Ribbon Week is to show that being drug free is cool. I’ve been planning Red Ribbon Week with my committee and also Mrs. Buscarini and I’m super excited for it to come because I’m excited for the turn-out.” Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign that takes place every year during the last week of October.

Members of the student government get to plan several events and activities for the student body.  Student Body President Konlee Cowan speaks on her experience, “I like having responsibility and I like being able to be a leader. I don’t know, I like making plans for things and helping like our community and our teachers and stuff.” This is her final year at Mont Harmon and she hopes to continue being a member of Student Government when she moves on to the high school level next year.
