Car Wash Student Council offers to wash, vacuums, clean windows, and Febreeze every staffulty member’s car during Teacher Appreciation Week. Each year, they clean cars during the school day. Responsible students drive the cars to and from the washing station behind the school, returning the keys to the owner after they are cleaned.

Luncheon Occurs the same day as the car wash Help from the cooks and our café class. Catered from local independent restaurant who significantly reduces their cost as a donation. Average cost to student council for the past few years is $3 per person (which also feeds our car washers!)

Everyone wants to feel appreciated. Time involvement varies from selecting a teacher of the week to the car wash and luncheon. Start small, and build with time…
