2019-2020 Student Council Elections!
There's pumpkin-flavored things everywhere, so it must be time for Student Council elections!
The Student Council is comprised of 9 students total: 3 seniors, 3 juniors, 2 sophomores, and 1 freshman.
IC responsibilities for StuCo members include:
OOC responsibilities for StuCo members include:
Since the ball is rolling on the semester, the campaigns kick off now!
OOCly: If you want to throw your character's hat into the ring, fill out the appropriate thread below. This will also count as handwavily filling out the same form IC and sticking it in a box on Zoe's door. This is the minimum requirement for getting your character's name on the ballot.
ICly: Campaign your little hearts out! Put up posters, give speeches, kiss babies, hand out buttons - whatever. You don't have to do this as part of the election, but remember that you're asking to be elected to a job that requires more work IC and OOC, so campaigning might be a good way to show both yourself and everyone else that you've got the time to put into the task.
The deadline for sign-ups is 11:59pm Eastern, Monday, September 23rd.
The day of the election will be Tuesday, September 24th.
The election winners will be announced Wednesday, September 25th.
The first StuCo meeting will be Thursday, September 26th (because I got the ball rolling a week late and Friday is Parents' Weekend, oops!)
Just follow the OCD and you'll be all set!

4) List at least one idea for an activity that Student Council could do that it hasn't done before: A cultural exchange of sorts would be an excellent way for the students here at Fandom High to share with their fellow classmates the rich experiences of their homes, in a way that truly celebrates our diversity!

I have a strong compassion and a true desire to make my time and the time of my fellow students at this school the best and most enriching experience it can be! I would also very much like to act as a strong and experienced advocate and ambassador for fellow non-human students, as that is a topic that is incredibly close to my heart, as well as something that I have spent a good deal of time perfecting and improving!
