Student Council

We are the Elementary School Student Council at The American School in Japan. Here is what we're doing to raise school spirit and help those in need.

Spirit in the ES! With the aim of generating school spirit, our Student Council sponsored today's Character Day.

[Student Council @asijessc]

Want to help the Student Council raise school spirit? Why not dress up as a character from a book or a movie on Friday, May 21st? #spiritday

[Student Council @asijessc]

Going great! Thanks to all the ES families who have donated to our Food Drive over the past week! It ends this Wed the 19th. Two more days left to help us support Second Harvest Japan! @2HJ_en @2ndharvestjapan

ES StuCo's Food Drive begins Mon, May 10! Please donate food, pasta, canned food, retort pack (sealed pouch / boil-in-the-bag food), and other non-perishable foods. All items will be donated to Second Harvest Japan @2HJ_en @2ndharvestjapan.

Meet our 2019-20 5th-grade student councilors! They are pioneers, as well as leaders, as we move forward with our reorganization and newly focused mission. @asij_g5

[Student Council @asijessc]

Introducing the 4th-grade representatives of our 2019–20 Student Council! These 12 students will work along their 5th-grade counterparts in this (now) yearlong duty.

Yesterday's application session was a huge success with 79 students completing and submitting their forms. Make-up sessions are available for those who couldn't make it. Please ask an Advisor for details.

[Student Council @asijessc]

Another exciting change: StuCo will comprise 24 fourth & fifth graders for the entire school year. This change from separate semester groups will allow members to dedicate themselves to long-term endeavors.... Application Day coming soon!

[Student Council @asijessc]

Our new Student Council will be open to all interested 4th & 5th graders. Twelve students will be selected from each of these two grade levels, regardless of homeroom (i.e., homerooms are no longer restricted to two reps each). Stay tuned!

[Student Council @asijessc]

Our fabulous Student Council is getting off to a slower start this year as we restructure ourselves for more leadership opportunity and other exciting changes. Thanks for your patience!
