School-wide election is held in the Internet.Students who are interested in becoming room representatives submit their applications in the Fall.

Extra-Curricular Activities
Foreign Language: Dr. Anita Morgan leads Spanish Club at Arrowhead School. The Spanish language is taught in a creative fashion in this club for children in the elementary grades. The club meets after school, once a week, and is jam-packed with Spanish culture.
All the children in this small class get enough individual attention to learn and have fun. They learn many words and expressions in Spanish, how to use and pronounce them, and the Spanish way of living.
Every week a new topic is taught, whether it is "families" or "introductions." The student learns to ask and answer questions in Spanish. New foods are introduced on a weekly basis. They eat plantanitos (a salty chip made from plantains), flan (a custard-like pudding with sugary taste), and churros (fried dough with sugar). Once week they may eat galletas con queso, crema y pasta de guayava (crackers with cream cheese and guava paste). Dr. Morgan's Spanish Club is a great way to learn about Spanish culture and the language while making new and exciting discoveries!
