Student Council

Student Council

Student Council is a service organization whose purpose is to plan and implement events, which provide a social and philanthropic outlet for the student body. Student Council is responsible for Gym Jams and Spirit Days. Beyond this, Student Council promotes student involvement in helping others in our community by raising funds in the annual Pennies for Patients drive benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The club also strives to increase student awareness of Sundling activities and events. Student Council accepts any student who is committed to improving the Sundling experience. The club will hold a general election exclusive to club member input. Committees will be formed and will be charged with the responsibility of brainstorming and implementing new ideas. Each student must volunteer for a committee that will help carry out these projects. Each committee chooses a chairperson who will be responsible for organizing the students on that committee.

Gym Jam

Student Council sponsors Gym Jams, an after school event, held to provide students a social outlet outside of the school day. The Gym Jam is designed to maximize student attendance by appealing to a broad audience. This will be accomplished by utilizing the gym for sports activities, a classroom for games and socialization, and the commons for a dance. There will be four Gym Jams per year. They will always take place on a Friday from 6-8pm. Permission slips will be sent home and no child will be admitted without a signed form. Tickets will be sold prior to the dance during lunch periods as well as at the door. Parents are required to pick up students promptly at 8pm. Failure to do so will prevent students from attending future dances. As Gym Jams are Sundling sponsored events, all school rules apply and students will be held to PBIS standards.
