Ashley-- Fun, indeed! This is really great, that students at your school are learning to self-organize and help themselves.
Years ago, I opened space for the teachers and staff of an elementary school. The students were not involved in this one, though the first graders set up the room (a small gymnasium) at the end of their recess. In the course of preparing for the OS, I learned that this school was using a talking stick to resolve conflicts between students. When there was a problem, someone would run to get the talking stick, and both parties would take turns saying whatever needed to be said, until they could work out a solution. Sounds like your school is growing people who might learn to solve disputes without violence.
