Student Council

We call our students “The Ambassadors” of RFK. We fulfill our responsibilities. We are school leaders and play managers. We help students practice the 4 Bs, work as a team, organize school activities to promote school pride, fundraise for school functions, fundraise for Leukemia and Lymphoma Pennies for Patients as well as raise money for Student Council needed items. In addition, we annually attend the East Side Pathway Leadership Conference at Garfield High School to learn leadership and team building skills from their ASB mentors. We MC school-wide festivities and attend bimonthly afterschool meetings.
