O.L. Smith Middle School

Smith Student Council Welcome Letter from Mr. Rummel

Greetings Vikings!

It is my pleasure to be working with you all on an interim basis as your student council supervisor. There are wonderful things happening here at Smith; and if my conversations with just a few of our student council officers are any indication of the creative ideas you all have, even bigger and better things are on the horizon!

I have had the pleasure to facilitate student leadership in the past with the Henry Ford Early College High School, as student council supervisor from 2008-2016. At the Early College, I was fortunate enough to be part of building the program from its beginnings. Though we are not starting a new student council chapter here at Smith, I do see some promising similarities:

Talented, Visionary Student Leadership
Involved, Motivated families
Shared Pride in our learning community
Eagerness in building a new era in student leadership
Big Hearts looking to Serve and give to back the community
True Optimism in a team of students that want to make their world better

Again, I am very excited to be joining the student council to empower and grow O. L. Smith Viking Leaders! I look forward to learning and working together for the continuous improvement of our awesome community!

Very Truly Yours,

Mark A. Rummel
