STUDENT
GOVERNMENT
Translates Ideals
Into Actions
The role of Student Government is to represent the majority of students
in the school in such a way that they have a definite voice in the shaping
of school policy and activities. Student Government has seen the realization
of this commitment by encouraging members of the Fordham Prep
Council to dedicate their time and energies to the improvement of school
life.
In addition to its responsibilities to extracurricular activities, Student
Government has made efforts this year at involvement beyond the
school. An example was Project SMILES which brought orphans to the
Prep for an afternoon of lunch, sports, and games with our students. The
success of this project was amply reflected in the faces of these children.
A new format for mentor group representatives was instituted to facilitate
communications between S.G. and the mentoring groups.
This year's Student Government brought many ideas into action and
stimulated action among a wider group of students than ever before. It
tried to live its motto: "For the improvement of the community."
