Elections, Elections, Read All About It!

The 2010-2011 school year is coming to a close, indicating that it is time to select the 2011-2012 class officers.  A president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer for each class are needed to ensure that the upcoming year will be successful and enjoyable.  Each student has the opportunity to run as a candidate for office.  When all candidates have been received, students running give a speech to let their fellow classmates know why they would be a good officer.  After speeches are given and students have time to ponder their future officers, they receive a ballet and vote on their favorite candidate. 

 

As the outgoing 8^th graders take their place as the Newman Catholic’s freshman class, it is vital for students to select their officers wisely.  Being new high school students, having good officers helps to ensure that the new environment and new school year will be a successful and pleasurable experience.  

The incoming freshman class is not the only one that needs to make sure its officers are up to par.  The upcoming seniors have critical decisions to make when deciding who they want to represent them as the class of 2012.  Senior year is their last year at Newman Catholic and it is only right for them to go out with a bang.  With good class officers, they will be able to achieve that bang and end their year successfully.

The 2011-2012 school year has already began for the new officers.  Meetings and setting up of events have already taken place this year to get ready for what the new school year will bring.  Carolina Larrain, class of 2012 secretary, says, “Being a class officer gives me the opportunity to get my fellow classmates input involved in our school’s activity.”  With these new class elections, students are able to know that with their new class officers, their 2011-2012 school year will be an amazing experience and an unforgettable memory.
