“Sometimes we never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory” -Dr. Seuss. My name is Manya Palle and I am running for the 26-27 E-Board. Being on ASB has been an amazing experience where I’ve learned about leadership, teamwork and creating an inclusive environment. Through creating poster ads, presenting to elementary schools, and helping organize and set up dances and rallies, I believe I have made a lasting impact on our school. ASB has helped me grow as a leader, and has given me the opportunity to contribute creative ideas that enhance school spirit. I’ve learned that even small efforts can have a big impact on others’ experiences. Even though I am excited for what the future holds, I won’t forget what I have learned on ASB and how it  has shaped me into the person I am today. On E-Board, I will apply these lessons by continuing to create meaningful, inclusive events and opportunities so that every student can walk away with memories they truly value.

"Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Hi, I’m Christian Youssef, and I’m running for ASB Executive Board because I’m ready to take on a larger role in shaping the energy, spirit, and experience of Rio Norte. My time in ASB has shown me what it truly takes to plan and execute successful events like LTAs, spirit days, and dances, and I’ve learned how important teamwork, organization, and accountability are in making those events happen. Through my extracurricular activities, I’ve developed discipline, time management, and consistency, which have taught me how to stay committed and perform under pressure while balancing multiple responsibilities. I want to take what I’ve learned and apply it to creating more meaningful, engaging events while also strengthening student voice so every idea has a chance to be heard and considered. I am focused, dependable, and ready to lead through action, not just words, and I’m committed to putting in the effort needed to help ASB continue improving. Vote Christian Youssef for Executive Board.

“To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” -Anatole France. My name is Daria Dominguez and I’m running for Executive Board for the 2026-2027 school year. ASB has taught me so much and helped me grow through so many experiences. I’ve created countless posters, spirit days, and LTAs to make a more enjoyable environment here at Rio Norte. I’m organized, hard working, honest, and have strong morals that I will apply to make an unforgettable year. If elected, I will use student’s valuable ideas from all across campus to make a difference. I am a person with strong integrity, and will ensure that these are not just empty promises. I will strive to give it my all to make these words a reality. I’m a proud river hawk with an even prouder voice. I’m never afraid to stick up for others or display my opinions, through any situation, thick or thin. Anywhere I go whether it's on or off campus, I display these qualities to my fullest potential, no matter the circumstance. As a kid, I’ve always wanted to help lead. Whether it was student council, or just a group discussion I’ve always aspired to assist my community. Let’s make Rio Norte a better environment by voting for Daria!

Living near Rio Norte as a child, I used to hear the music of songs during school dances from my house. I could hear the laughter, fun, and comfort of the students. Ever since that moment, I knew I wanted to be the reason they had a smile on their face. Hi, I'm Naga Om Pannapali, and I'm running for the 2026-2027 ASB Executive Board. Joining ASB, I have learned what it takes to be a learner, a listener, and a leader. Over this year, I have learned many different ASB skills like organizing LTA’s, setting up dances, and doing many things to appreciate our teachers, while also learning many personal skills like responsibility and purpose. I have also listened to students' feedback on ASB events, and I am ready to take in your feedback and improve our events. With these qualities, I have learned what it takes to be a leader. If I get selected, I will do this by setting up google docs where students can vote for ideas like LTA’s Spirits, and dances, so your voice can be heard. Also, outside of school, I have led others in many ways. From being captain of my baseball team, to leading classes of students in TaekwonDo with my masters. I really think I can make Rio Norte your second home, where all students are welcome and happy. But I can’t do it alone, so make sure to vote Om Pannapli for the Executive Board!

“Somewhere inside of all of us is the power to change the world” -Roald Dahl. Hi, my name is Cassidee Prieto and I am running for the 2026-2027 executive board. I would be a good fit for E-board because I am a responsible student and will make your voice heard. I will try to make the school more inclusive so everyone feels more involved. Being an active member in Asb has taught me to be a leader, organizer, planner, and communicator. I have helped plan a dance,  make posters, and create advertisements for spirit days and much more. During my free time, I spend time with my friends and family and they have shown me to take on leadership roles, to always be kind to everyone, and to be involved with the community. I enjoy having the responsibility of having big roles to take on so if you vote me for the executive board, I will be a true and stable leader.
