Crestline elects new student council

In late August, each third through sixth grade homeroom class at Crestline Elementary School elected a student council representative for the school year.

Third grade representatives are Caroline Bates, Wels Holman, Alden Johnson, Mac McCowan, Coe Murdock, and Lucy Redden. Fourth grade representatives are Laurel Hand, Carey Hereford, Will Oliver, Summer Robinett, Ebbie Stutts, and Samantha Torch. Fifth grade representatives are Logan Brewer, Mary Grace Lorino, Tess Patton, Crawford Poynor, Georgia Stewart, and Lowery Thompson. Sixth grade representatives are Sam Enslen, Laura Kate Howell, Claire Kimberlin, Hope Methvin, Olivia Rodrigues and Virginia Wahlheim.

On Sept. 26, the three sixth grade student council representatives who chose to run for president each gave a speech in front of the third through sixth graders. Winners were Claire Kimberlin, president; Virginia Wahlheim, vice president; Mary Grace Lorino, publicity chair; and Georgia Stewart, secretary.

Student council representatives are responsible for presenting and discussing a specific character trait from the Cougars Care Campaign each month with their assigned classes.

Faculty sponsors for Crestline’s student council are counselor Bonnie Lorino, sixth grade teacher Bill Garner and special education teacher Libby Pittman.

“It is a unique and uplifting pleasure to work with such great kids as student council,” Lorino said. “They are so responsible in their duties that it makes our job easy as pie!”
