I wanted to run for class officers because I really enjoy being a part of the student government and organizing school events. One of the reasons I like being a part of the student government is because I enjoy planning and organizing school events. I also enjoy teaching and being an example to my peers. I hope to achieve a positive and healthy environment with my classmates and other cults. The reason why I feel like I am a good candidate for class president is because I keep good grades and I am a responsible student also I am an SBO (student body officer) at my school and I am in A-staff which is our film group. We make our school announcements. I plan to represent cottonwood by being respectful and showing school spirt by displaying T-shirts,sweatshirts,hoodies,ect in and out of school. I belive this will boost school spirt and moral. I hope that this will incorage my fellow students to show there school spirt throuh out the community.
Question #1: What are two initiatives you will work on as a Class Officer next year if you are elected?
I will try and make every feel included and not excluded to the best of my abilaties. I will also try to have blank post cards sent to each class. they can write a thank you note on it. they can send them to anyone they want to or they can make notes of encouragements to them selves for future use.
Question #2: What does it mean to you to be a Colt?
I think it means to be proud of your school and to show your school that you are safe,respectful, and responsible.
Question #3: What is one way you would develop activities to make everyone at Cottonwood feel welcome and included?
Something I would try and do is a hotdog hello it is something that we did at my school near the beggining of the year we invited everyone to come and get hotdogs and say hello to thier teachers and administration. Anouther activite i am thinking is to have each class officer from each grade to make x amount for welcome cards to each student the first month of school or when ever we can.
Question #4: What advice do you have to stay motivated with attendance and academics throughout the year?

A qualitie that a great leader should have is being a great listener, Have to be willing to take advise, willing to know when to compromise, And knowing the diffrence between how you say something and whats being said.
Question #6: What is a leadership quality you have and how will it help you be a good Class Officer at Cottonwood?
Being open minded. I think open minded helps with multipul problems. For example if there is a problem with people not being heard like other class officers, having an open mind can let you gain multiple ideas and perspectives.
Question #7: What specific qualifications do you have for your intended position?
I have good grades and I keep good grades. Another one is that I have very good communication skills and I am responsible. I also have great leadership exprieance, I know how to work with teachers and fellow students to get any task accomplished.

My activity will be about teamwork and communication. the name of it is cup stacking there will be 5 groups with 8 people per group (the groups are random chosen by the weel of fortune) each group member will have a string connected to a rubber band this rubber band will be used to pick up and stack plastic cups first team to do it will be the winner. There will be 3 rounds a round with every can talk, a round where no one can talk and a round where one person can talk. This helps with building teamwork and communication skills, while still being fun and enjoyable.
