PS 188Q's Weekly Newsletter
Week of November 14th to November 18th
We continue to participate in the Gratitude Challenge where students name a specific thing they are grateful for and why. Expressing gratitude helps us stop and think about something other than ourselves or our situations.
📢On Monday, November 7th, we had our Student Council Executive Board elections. Each candidate gave amazing speeches! I am very proud of each of them. Our results are in and here are the results:
Student Council President: Nisansi 5-302
Student Council Vice President: Oliver 4-316
Student Council Secretary: Melanie 5-302
All students that ran for office will be a part of our student council and I look forward to working with each of them to bring their ideas to life here at P.S. 188Q
