Grade Five students may run for an office on the Elementary Student Council. Students in grades four and five vote on the slate of candidates. The make-up of the Council changes roughly quarterly in order to give a number of students the opportunity to develop leadership skills.

Working with the elementary vice-principal, each new Council works on something to improve the school or community during their 5-6 week term.

Some of the activities and projects they organized in the past include:

• National Reading Day
• 4 square/9 square referees
• School tours at IPA Open House
• Toys for Tots campaign
• 4th & 5th grade intramurals
• Reuse-a-shoe recycling project
• Spirit week
• Talent Show at Monday assemblies
• Volley-Baseball Game - 5th graders VS teachers
