=**Elementary Activities Club**=

We always begin the year by campaigning for the positions of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Class Representative. The students create speeches and a poster for the election. The 4th grade students then vote by ballots for the new 2013-2014 officers.

The 4th grade class will be involved in club meetings and decisions concerning the Elementary Activities Club funds for the entire school year. The students will be operating the school store for elementary students. Throughout the year we will be developing to increase our field trip funds. We are looking forward to a fun and successful year!
