With the school year just over a month in, students in grades 5-8 elected the next middle school student council. Officers are President Lea Williams, Vice President Hazel Mackedon, Secretary Lakota Casey and Treasurer Kaylee Craig.
Students presented campaign speeches including why they were a good candidate for the position and what their goals are for the year. Vice President Hazel Mackedon explains her decision for campaigning, “I ran for office because I wanted to help the school and the community be the best they can be.”
Secretary Lakota Casey added, “Running for student council gives the opportunity to show/learn leadership, teamwork, communication, and organization in a very fun way.”
The students also learned throughout the process including a newfound respect for public speaking.
President Leah Williams said, “What I learned from the election was patience and public speaking and both are important life skills.”
“I learned how to properly give a speech, how nerve racking it is to give a speech, and the most important thing, commitment,” Casey said.
“I am proud of all of our middle school students who ran for student council at Oasis Academy. Congratulations to our newly voted officers! I am excited for the fun events & positive impact we can bring to Oasis Academy. During these unprecedented times leadership & positivity is what we need for our student body.” notes Middle School Student Council Advisor Lauren Kelly.
So what are their goals for this year? Vice President Hazel Mackedon voices her goal, “I hope to accomplish a fun school year with lots of activities that will contact us as bighorns with Covid still around.”
President Williams continued, “I hope to make the school year more fun, exciting and one to remember.”
