PROJECT BACKGROUND

Manual of project for the rehabilitation and improvement of the of the physical structure

Why rehabilitation and improvement?

The R.C. Lawson Institute was established and built in December 1979, by some dedicated, God fearing and loving American missionaries who spent a portion of their lives here in Liberia working to provide a quality and affordable education for Liberian children.

The Liberian civil crisis ran these missionaries out this country in 1990. since then, the building has suffered from damaged roof, a lack of good cafeteria, no auditorium for the student's activities, the lack of electricity, etc. Due to this the current administration of the R.C. Lawson Institute is inviting all individuals, institutions, and organizations who may be willing to help to restore the school to a better and decent learning environment, to please come quickly to help our institution so as to give the Liberian children a hope a quality and affordable education.

 

May God Almighty bless you so richly for coming to our aid with whatever little or great contribution towards these projects. Attached is the cost estimate for rehabilitation and improvement. More than money, material donation will be highly appreciated.

 

Thank you and God bless you.

The Origin of The students Council Government

Student council

Student council or Student body is a curricular or extracurricular activity for students within elementary and secondary schools around the world. Present in most public and private K-12 school systems across the United States, Canada, Australia, the Philippines and also in Liberia, these bodies are alternatively entitled student council, student government, Associated Student Body, Student Activity Council, Student Council Association or S.C.A. Student councils often serve to engage students in learning about democracy and leadership.

 About

Some Members of our different students parties

 

The student council helps share students’ ideas, interests, and concerns with teachers and school principals. They often also help raise funds for school-wide activities, including social events, community projects and school reform. For example most schools do food drives, fundraisers and parties.^[1][2] Many members learn skills that were an extension of their formal education.

Function

Student councils operate in many forms. There are representative-based and modeled loosely after the U.S. Congress, or based on the Executive Branch of the United States, In this form student representatives and officers are usually elected from and by the student body, although there may be prerequisites for candidacy or suffrage. In elementary schools, there are typically one or two student representatives per classroom and one presiding set of officers. However, many secondary schools have one set of officers per grade level.

An example of the structure of an elementary student council may include a president, a vice president, secretary, treasurer, sergeant of arms, fundraising officer and historian. These roles may be assigned or voted on, either within the student council or by the entire student body. They may also reflect descending grade-levels, with the president in the oldest grade, and so forth.^[4] Secondary school governments often have more independence and power than younger governments; it includes a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary and a Chairman. Often a student government is overseen by a sponsor, which is usually a teacher at that particular school. Most junior or middle school student councils have a constitution of some sort and usually do not have a judicial branch.^[5] Compared to elementary school councils, junior high and high school councils generally have fewer people.

Student councils usually do not have funding authority and generally must generate their operating funds through fundraisers such as car washes and bake sales.^[7] Some student councils have a budget from the school, along with responsibility for funding a variety of student activities within a school.

According to several schools:

"A Student Council is a representative structure for students only, through which they can become involved in the affairs of the school, working in partnership with school management, staff and parents for the benefit of the school and its students."^[3]

A Message from The Principal
