New WMS Student Ambassador/Council Term Begins

The beginning of a new school year at Wayne Middle School ushers in some changes.  One change is the composition of members appointed and elected to serve as Student Ambassador/Council members.

We welcome our new Student Ambassador/Council members - Brylee Brown, Chance Brian, Krey Bradbury, Lacey Ellett, Macey Jackson, Raegyn Blackburn, Savannah Williams.  We look forward to their efforts and contributions as they serve with energy, enthusiasm and commitment while representing Wayne Middle School! 

The mission of the WMS Student Council is to contribute to the overall experience of constructive student interaction, school improvement, and educational enhancement for ALL students at our school.

Student Ambassador/Council positions provide WMS students the opportunity to serve their school, learn about citizenship and civic involvement procedures, gain a greater understanding of governing processes, and explore leadership and leadership skills.

WMS Student Council is intended and designed to remain a flexible organization, with potential and opportunity to allow participation and utilization of talents of WMS students and Faculty/Staff.

Student Ambassador/Council membership includes appointed and elected members from all grades, which represent a collective voice for all WMS students.  This approach is modeled after the U.S. system of representative governance, consisting of appointed and elected leaders.  Including both appointed and elected members provides a greater opportunity for more interested students to pursue and participate in the process. This approach helps alleviate any concern/s that the process “favors” one group of students over another (e.g. “popularity contest” or “students with the best grades” or “athletes” and so on). This approach also allows opportunities for qualified students to participate who may not necessarily choose to pursue Student Ambassador/Council involvement through the election process.
