Gotham Ave Student Government
Mission Statement
THE MISSION OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT, is to make sure that the needs of all students in Gotham Avenue School are being met. We, the representatives, are chosen to act as a voice for our peers. We want to help with communication between students, teachers, administrators and staff. We advocate (stand up) for the needs of the students and staff while participating in civic tasks to boost community relationships.
The purpose of Student Government is to:
- Unify the school and promote school spirit
- Build bridges with the community
- Develop an understanding of the democratic process
- Inspire students to be proactive in their communities
- Provide opportunities for philanthropy
How You Can Support Us:
- Bring Box Tops! Box Tops for Education can be found on many products you buy! Cut them out and bring them to school. There is a collection box in the lobby!
- Bring Pull Tabs! Pull Tabs are found on metal cans! We collect them and donate them to the Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House allows families to access specialized medical treatment by providing a place to stay and many other wonderful programs! Let’s help them out. Bring all pull tabs to Room 239, or find the collection box in the lobby of the school!
