Helping Our Neighbors

    A great big thank you is being sent out from the SGA to all of the people who helped us make our food and coat drive such a success!  With your contributions, we were able to help 8 families during the holiday season

Supporting Our Troops

    The SGA is collecting names and addresses of soldiers who are deployed overseas.  It is our goal to have each class adopt a soldier and his/her unit.  If you know of anyone who is deployed, please pass that information along to the SGA.  We need the soldier's name, unit, and mailing address.

Elections

        Morganton Road School's Student Government Association held its 2008-2009 elections in September.  Each grade level voted for two students to represent their classes in SGA.  Third through fifth grade students also voted for students to hold the offices of president, vice president, and secretary/treasurer.
        To campaign for an SGA office, candidates qualified according to the following guidelines:

• Follow class, school, and bus rules.

• Be trustworthy.

• Be dependable.

• Be devoted to hard work.

• Maintain at least a "C" average in all classes.

• Attend all meetings.

        In the week before the election, Morganton Road School was adorned with bright posters and busy with creative campaigning by SGA candidates.  On the day of the election, while kindergarten, first, and second grade students gave speeches in their classrooms, candidates for secretary, vice- president, and president anxiously prepared in the cafeteria for the Election Day assembly. Candidates were responsible for delivering a three to five minute speech to an audience of third, fourth, and fifth grade students and teachers.
        The students were prepared and poised the morning of the election and delivered their prepared speeches before the assembly of students.
        After the speeches, students voted and the ballots were tallied.  Please see below the results of this year's election:
