Cumberland School Student Council
Our Student Council is a group of students who work with faculty advisors to enhance our school community through active participation. It is made up of students in fourth and fifth grade. All students who successfully complete the sign-up process may serve as members, and will meet monthly during the school year, over the lunch hour.
