El Dorado Private School has a vibrant and enthusiastic Student Council.  Students from 5th-8th grade have the opportunity to serve.  Students learn the procedures of Student Government while they enjoy various exciting projects that help serve the needs of our school and the community.  This year our Student Council will be working on events such as helping at the Luv Shack Animal Rescue Shelter, adopting foster children for the holidays, supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and many others.  Our most popular project involves cooking and serving a hot meal at one of our local shelters. Events such as bake sales and tile painting at our annual carnival generate tremendous excitement among our El Dorado Family.  We are happy that this opportunity to display leadership skills is so sought after by our students.  We are very proud of our Student Council.  

The fourth and fifth grade students participate in the Battle of the Minds, a reading competition.  Throughout the year, students read selected novels.  Near the end of each quarter a competition is held as the teams are put into small groups and questions are asked about the books read that quarter.  The final competition round in late April includes all the books read in the school year.  Total scores are cumulative for all four competitions.  After the first round, the Liberty Readers are in first place with 67 points.  Members of the Liberty Readers are Ashley Kritzstein, Alexandria Maslowsky, Matthew Peters and Anthony Sominsky.

In 2008, El Dorado Private School adopted a rural school, Samburu Community School, in Kenya, Africa.  El Dorado Private School has been sending supplies and money to buy textbooks raised by the Middle School fundraisers.  Our Elementary, Intermediate and Middle School students became pen pals with the African students.
