SBO Artist

Indie Hoggan

Keep cottonwood creative - vote indie

My name is Indiana (“Indie”) Hoggan, I am running for the position of Student Body Officer Artist because I enjoy using creativity and experiences to bring people together, which will strengthen the overall student experience. Creativity plays an important role in how we communicate ideas, celebrate events, and make our school feel welcoming, inclusive, and exciting. I would love the opportunity to contribute to CHS by designing banners, posters, and decorations that represent the energy and pride of our student body.

One of my goals as the SBO Artist would be to help make school events more engaging, fun, visually memorable, and more welcoming. I would work closely with dance officers and other student government members to create designs that would make each event unique and memorable.

I believe I would be a strong candidate for this role because I am organized, dependable, and enjoy collaborating with others. Through my involvement in academics, athletics, and school activities, I have learned the importance of teamwork, preparation, and representing my school with pride. I take responsibility seriously and always try to bring a positive attitude to everything I do. I would bring these character qualities to the position of Artist as a Student Body Officer and apply them to serve the student body effectively.

If elected, I will represent CHS in a positive and innovative way by bringing creativity, organization, and enthusiasm to the role. My goal is to help create designs that highlight school spirit and make every event feel special for all students, staff, and our community.

Thank you for your consideration.

SBO Artist Task

Create a sample poster (can be scaled down) to advertise a dance and dance theme of your choosing. This needs to be hand drawn. Provide a photo of your poster. Additionally, create one page with at least 3 different poster examples for a Sweethearts Dance that the advisor can print and provide to the rest of Student Government to help them create their advertising posters. This page can be either hand drawn or digitally made. The other members of Student Government are required to help with making dance advertising posters, but many need to copy a pre-made design.
