According to several schools:
"A Student
Council is a representative structure for students only, through which
they can become involved in the affairs of the school, working in
partnership with school management, staff and parents for the benefit of
the school and its students." " That is what student council taken from
wikipedia.
Since freshman year, I have
been a passionate advocate for our student body. When a food poisoning
epidemic broke out on campus, I crafted the petition to demand better
service from our food providers and better oversight from school
administrators. It was unacceptable for the health of our peers to be
compromised by consuming the food in our own cafeteria. Many of you
agreed with me, and the petition got the support of 85% of our student
body.
Since then, the administration
has been more proactive about monitoring health and safety regulations
in the cafeteria. As a result of my urging, the administration has also
began publishing the ingredients and nutrition facts of all food items
offered in the cafeteria so that students can make healthier, more
informed choices about what they eat.
The following year, I was
elected as Sophomore Class Representative to the student council. One
hallmark achievement of mine was increasing accountability for student
council expenditures. You can now find the student council budget on its
website, as well as a monthly update of actual transactions made. This
accountability initiative allowed us to reduce prom ticket prices by $20
for each student. Once we realized that we had funds left over from
previous allocations, we redirected the money to prom to make the
important event more affordable for every student.
If elected, I will continue to
fight for justice, transparency, and equality for our student body. I
will create a channel of student representation on our city’s School
Board, which supervises our school’s administration but does not offer
an opportunity for student voices to be heard. I will reform the course
registration system so that selections can be made electronically,
increasing efficiency and minimizing frustrating errors. I will continue
the fight for healthier, more nutritious school lunch offerings in our
cafeteria, partnering with local farmers to provide fresh produce for
salads and snacks.
My record exemplifies
passionate, self-driven advocacy on behalf of all of us. I care about
your interests and your voice. I care about making sure campus
opportunities are as equally distributed as possible for each and every
one of you. Come share your ideas, and I will make them happen.
So, pick me as for a better student council!
