Meet the newly-elected Student Government Association at Earle Elementary School. The 20 member group is a historical first

for the school. Students were nominated based on their outspokenness, leadership abilities, and high-achieving attributes. The

SGA at Earle Elementary meets weekly to discuss community service projects, fundraisers, and any concerns from peers. Future

projects include a collaboration with St. Jude. Mrs. Kaiesha McGruder serves as the SGA Sponsor.

Students donated and collected socks and gave

to one of our local Nursing Homes!
