SCHOOL NEWS BRIEFS Lower School News “Flat Students” Welcome Parents With a nod to the Flat Stanley books, Grade 2 students made life size replicas of themselves to welcome parents to their classroom for St. Johns’ August parent open house. The replicas were a fun, handy way to greet parents and help them find their child’s seat!
Lower School Student Council Elections In September, students in Grades 4 and 5 had the opportunity to run for various positions on the Lower School Student Council, including Historian, Treasurer, Vice President, and President. Students made posters for display in the Lower School hallway, and on September 9, delivered speeches to family, friends, and fellow students in the Performing Arts Center. “Everyone did a fantastic job on both posters and speeches,” said Head of Lower School Otis Wirth. Votes were then tallied and verified, and Mr. Wirth announced the results at flag raising the following morning. The 2021-2022 Lower School Student Council officers are Historian Claire Galnor ’29, Treasurer Noah Rosenau ’30, Secretary Miley Desguin ’30, Vice President Wade Sabbagh ’30, and President Max Rivera ’29.
