Student Council Results

What is the Student Council?: To put it simply, student council is a group of peer-elected students there to address issues of concern and organize student events and activities. According to the DJDS Student Council Constitution, the main objective of the DJDS Student Council is to "represent the Student Body’s interests and ideas to the Administration and School Board, to organize events and traditions for the Student Body, to keep up the morale of the Student Body, and to promote and save the DJDS ruach in any way possible."
