Student Council
represents the voice of the average kid at Ripley High. Many times they have spoken up to help give
the student body a new activity, privilege, or event, even if the council
members have to work tirelessly to make it happen.
This year, Student
Council is under a new Student Body President, senior Kelsey Frampton.
“It’s been going really
well, and I’m excited to be here for Ripley High School’s 100th
birthday,” Frampton says.
Like every year,
Student Council is busier than ever.
They have a few new responsibilities as well.
“We’re in charge of the
Sweetheart Ball for the first time, and we’re having the dances after football
games,” Frampton explains.
The after-game dances
are a new feature – a way for students to gather after a football game that
doesn’t involve terrorizing any public place in Ripley. The dances are casual, and the Student Body
President advises participants that “If you help pick up trash after the game,
you’ll earn a discount on the admission.”
Other yearly events are
just as important as new ones. Student
Council is now in charge of the 5-K Walk and Run, organized by the head of the
council, student advisor Becky Neal.
They are working with multiple schools, and the event starts beside the
track of our own Ripley High School.
Perhaps the most
important duty of Student Council is to organize dances and pep rallies to
allow students to show their school spirit.
Many surprises are in store this year, particularly from the seniors.
As a final note,
Student Council would like to tell you to “participate in class competitions,
come to pep rallies, and show your school spirit! Have a great year, Ripley High!”
