Fifth grade students recently completed a rigorous application process to become members of the inaugural Collegeville Elementary School Senate. The group will have opportunities throughout the school year to practice leadership skills while participating in community service activities.
Students were required to have a current 3.0 GPA, approval from administration in regards to behavior and reference letters from previous teachers. The process also required reference checks, a writing sample, and an interview.
Chris Williams, Vice President of First Security Bank, and Tanga Dreher, CES PTO President and nurse at Baptist Hospital, served as community members and helped with the application process. CES principal Katie Thomas also served on the selection committee.
