Claypool's student council has seven 4th grade members, ten 5th grade members and seven 6th grade members. The students give up recess twice a month to meet as a club. The students choose priorities for the year and help to lead the initiatives; when they see a need, they bring it to the rest of student council.

The co-leaders are 6th grade students Shelby Harlan (Mrs. Stump's class) and Cecilia Scheetz-Holland (Mrs. Gunder's class). They were selected through a mock election within their classes. They have been on student council since 4th grade and currently help to mentor and lead the younger members.

Students complete an interest form in order to be selected for student council. They also have to put together a speech for their class to highlight something that they would like to change/impact at the school.

In the student council meetings, they discuss wellness goals and keeping a positive mindset to make sure all students feel included.

Claypool's student council members are a great example of how to move the WCS mission forward and support the 4 Strategic Plan Pillars: Empathy, Experience, Adaptability, and Inclusivity.
