Head Boy
Hey I’m David Smith and I’m running for 8th head boy. Everybody please stand up! Take one step to your right. Take one step to your left. Clap three times! Now sit down. My parents told me that if I could somehow “move the crowd” then I would win! So thank you for your cooperation.
But on a more serious matter, I am here to talk about why I want to run for Student Council President, my experience as a leader, and how I can bring many new and creative ideas to Viewpoint Middle School.
Student Council is a way for the students to have representation in school. It gives them a chance to make their own decisions, about how they want their school run by voting for people to represent them. The reason I want to run for student council President is not because my parents made me, not because I want to tell jokes in front of people, but because I want to make my last year as a middle schooler the best one for all the Middle School.
Being a President is not an easy job, but I believe I qualify for it. I have shown strength inside and outside of school as a leader. Inside school, I have achieved straight As. Outside of school, I have donated over $500 to a charity called World Vision, with the help of my friend. I have participated in Community Service on a weekly basis, since I was in 7th grade. I have also won piano competitions such as the Bach and Contemporary Festivals for several years.
By becoming President, I hope to take all of my experience from outside of school and bring it to a school level. I will take my job completely seriously, but also include your ideas no matter how extreme. If you give me an idea, no matter what it is, I promise to take it to Student Council and discuss it. Free dress every day? SURE! I definitely will bring that up in a Student Council discussion. Anyone from any grade can come up to me, talk to me, and I promise what you say will be talked about later in Student Council.
Now I hope I moved you both literally and mentally. If

    Last year I was asked to be a small group leader for incoming 7th grade students this year. Having known what it felt like to be a new student in a completely different school I jumped on the opportunity to help. I, like Billy tried to be open and welcoming, encouraging the 7th graders to become involved in the Xaverian community just like Billy did for me and I’m sure many others. My goal was to be able to help the 7th graders in any situation whether they needed advice or just want to share a funny story. As a student council senator I would try to do the same. I would strive to always be friendly and kind to all Xaverian students wanting everyone to feel welcome. I would encourage other to join clubs and activities and go on service projects like X-Act and Christmas in the city. Most of all I would want each and every student at Xaverian to feel accepted and to feel excited, knowing that they are each a key part in the larger, greater, Xaverian…

    I come fully prepared with experience and a fresh mind. I have been elected as a Student Council member for 5 years in my previous schools since fourth grade, and I know what it takes to be a representative that is respectful, confident, and engaged with student activities and events. My goal as an SGA member is to make sure that our student body works as cohesively as possible, ensuring that all of my classmate’s voices are heard, and concerns are addressed. As a member of the SGA, I will advocate for our concerns, and dedicate my time to draw stronger bonds between students and teachers, enabling a greater student presence without having to sacrifice time for homework or other…

    Hello southern area FBLA, I am Neha Arun, a sophomore at Carterville High School, and I’m running for Area President. With campaigning comes a lot of promises that aren’t followed through. I’m here to do what I say. Instead of saying that I want to fix a million different things, I will focus and build progress in steps. I don’t make empty promises. As part of FBLA, student council, student leadership council, youth and government, multiple musical groups, as well as other organizations in a variety of fields, I have learned a lot about leadership. However, experience is nothing unless it is channeled, and used to benefit others. My goals and the ideals I base my campaign upon are to elevate southern area so that it is a force to be reckoned…
