Grandville Middle School Student Council
The Grandville Middle School Student Council is an organization of selected students who want to help the school through fundraisers, "fun days," and other events. The 2012 student council is comprised of around 20 students who are selected for this position. These students hold certain qualtities that will benefit the school including leadership, helpfulness, friendleness, and kindness. Council representatives take these qualities and use them to help the school. They are all role-models for the school and the student body. The council meets about every two weeks to discuss events and other projects.
