Student government is a vital part of any school as it sets an example of the democratic process. R.A.’s Student Council is a body of students from grades 4 through 8 which consist of class representatives, a President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. The student candidates campaign for these offices; and the student body votes for their chosen candidates during the Student Government elections held in June. The students serving on the student council play an important role at R.A. They relay suggestions from their classmates to the council, write up proposals for possible activities, organize and follow through on the ideas. It is a rewarding experience for them to see their ideas blossom into reality through collaboration and hard work.
The AAA Safety Patrol Program gives our Junior High students the opportunity to serve as role models to the younger children. They designate students to take onthe roles of Captain, Lieutenant and Sergeant. Their job is to ensure that all members of the program are fulfilling their duties as outlined. Being a member of the AAA Safety Patrol Program allows our students to develop alertness, dependability, leadership qualities and a sense of obligation.
