I need resources for organizing and running a student council program
at my elementary school -- ideas for activities, etc.

Hi! Thanks for your interesting question.

Since the best source for these are from your peers as well, I will
provide resources on different elementary student council
organizations and programs created by other schools. I think this will
be a great kickoff to your plans for the student council. Some
documents are in PDF file so you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to
read them. In case you haven’t installed it yet here is a link so you
could download The Adobe Acrobat Reader
(http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html).

The student council at Miami Lakes Elementary could provide a sample
composition for your future council body.

The Student Council of Schoolcraft Early Elementary School has this
quite different way of organizing an elementary student council.

“All First and Second graders serve one month on our Student Council,
problem solving and planning student activities. The Early Elementary
Student Council has a partnership with the Schoolcraft McDonald’s. At
the end of each month, current Student Council members are treated to
lunch at McDonald’s.”
