Student Council
Students in the 7th grade who choose to run for Student Council are elected at the end of the school year and serve their term during their 8th grade year under the director of the faculty advisor.
Congratulations to the following students who were elected by their peers and teachers to serve on 2017-18 Student Council:
Qualifications & Election Process:
Kenny Bruce, Danielle Furey, Lyna Ngo, Bridget McGuinn, Megan Rayner
You must be willing to give your time to your school and your fellow students. You must be a positive role model to your fellow students. Your effort and behavior should be consistently satisfactory or better, as a student council member is an example to their fellow students.
You may make flyers to hang up advertising your qualities and qualifications, which may include a picture of yourself. Flyers must be positive and about yourself (no flyers should be negative toward any opponents) and may be hung along the 6th, 7th and 8th grade hallway.
You will have to prepare a short speech that you will deliver to an audience of your peers that must be approved by the student council's faculty advisor. All opponents will stand before the student body of St. Dorothy school and give their speeches. Elections will immediately follow the speeches after the students return to their classrooms.
NOTE: trinkets, gifts, food, candy or similar items may not be distributed as advertising or an enticement to get votes during the process

Reading Olympics
A countywide reading event that encourages students to increase the quality and quantity of books they read for enjoyment. St. Dorothy Students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades may participate. The Reading Olympics Program is based upon the belief that good reading habits form the foundation for a productive and successful life. The teams come together in the spring at an assigned county school location to answer questions about the books. The teams accumulate points for every correct answer during three rounds of questioning earning each team member a blue, red, or white ribbon based on the number of points their team has earned. Volunteers from area schools serve as moderators and scorekeepers to ask questions and keep score. When the schools, parents and community come together, EVERYONE WINS!
