Student
Council at Holly Springs Intermediate School
The Student Council is an organization through which students’
ideas and opinions may be presented for faculty and administrative
action. Student Council serves as a governing body for development,
promotion, and administration of student affairs. The Student Council
also provides student support at all school functions. The HSIS student
council is composed of fifth and sixth graders at the Intermediate
School. Each fifth and sixth grade homeroom has two representatives.
Representatives are elected by their peers. Students who are members of
the student council must have a C grade point average, exemplify good
behavior, and be good all-around student leaders. The Student Council
is responsible for the daily morning routine, the HSIS radio
announcement, the raising of the flag each morning, grade tutoring, and
Pennies for Patients. Each year the organization grows and expands its
reach within the school. This year’s advisors are Ms. Brantley
and Ms. Holloway. Members of the 2006-07 student council are fifth
graders Mark II, Ireka Rucker, Alasha Stewart, Lewis Bruce, Laterika
Martin, Vince Kizer, Mamdi Sise, Jamine Alexander, Jasmine Jones,

Finch Tours
ends the summer with a trip to Geyser Falls
Finch Tours took a series of Saturday trips during the spring and
summer of 2006. The final trip was to Geyser Falls Water Theme Park
in Choctaw on August 19. Seven students traveled to the water park.
They were Danny Crumb, Brittany Galloway, Patrick Maxwell, Tierenee
Nichols, Lathedric Robinson, Mamadi Sise, and Terenton Williams.
These students had a great time. Mamadi Sise, a fifth grader at
Holly Springs Intermediate School, said he liked the Really Wicked
Water Factory, a collection of slides, water soakers, and buckets
for pouring water on unsuspecting park guests. Tierenee Nichols,
another fifth grader, preferred the Thunder River, where the students
floated along on tubes around several of the other attractions at
the park. Everyone enjoyed themselves and look forward to the things
they will do with Finch Tours in 2007.
