WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS AS STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT?

“Lily and I’s main goal as Student Council president and vice president is to promote school spirit and involvement for all students and to highlight all organizations on campus. We really want every student that walks on campus to feel included and supported, and we want to do this by encouraging involvement. We want more pep rallies next year to recognize all sports at Liberty and to promote school unity, and add themes to these pep rallies. We also want to increase student input on themes and dress up days, so the student body gets their voice heard. We want to focus on reaching out to all organizations and create more posters to highlight all of these organizations across campus. We also want to create more fundraisers and volunteer opportunities for the student body, so students can connect with more ways to help the community. We really want to make every student feel like they are a part of something on campus.”

WHAT STEPS WILL YOU TAKE TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR COMMITMENTS?

“To follow through on our commitments we are really just going to listen to the student body and make sure their voices are heard. We want to start planning for next year, so we can incorporate all of our ideas into it. Many of our ideas will take a lot of planning between Lily and I, and with the whole student council, so we are just going to really hold ourselves accountable to make next year a memorable year for all students on campus.”

WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM OTHER CANDIDATES?

“Lily and I have been close friends since middle school, and our bond inside and outside of school makes us a really strong partnership. We have worked together every day in student council, along with working together outside of school at our job. We both have a lot of similar goals for next year, and we both are really excited about planning those events together.”

HOW WOULD YOU HELP FOSTER SCHOOL SPIRIT?

“School spirit is something that is really important to me and Lily. Lily has been on the drill team since freshman year and I have been on cheer since freshman year, so we both have a ton of experience with school spirit. Whether it is being involved in games, pep rallies, or other events, Lily and I have been around school spirit since the moment we entered high school. We want to use this experience to make campus a place where everyone feels included and a place that really promotes spirit. We want to do this by creating themed pep rallies throughout different seasons, because pep rallies are a great way to unite the student body. We also want to build up the student section through posters and funding things for the students to hold/wear. We also want to increase student input on themes and create more posters around the school advertising clubs, sports, and other organizations.”

HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR RUNNING MATE, AND WHAT MAKES YOU THE BEST FIT FOR THE ROLE OF PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT?

“I chose Lily Leyden as my running mate because she has been a close friend of mine since middle school. She is a super hard working person, and you know when she does something she is always going to put her best effort forward. Lily is a dependable person and you can always count on her for anything. We have the same ideas and goals for next year, so she is a super strong partner to have. We work really well together and I would love to lead the student body with her next year. I am so lucky to have Lily as my running mate!”

WHAT WOULD IT MEAN TO YOU TO BE STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT?

“It would be such an honor to be able to lead the whole student body as student council president. It is such a large task and big responsibility to take on, and Lily and I are ready to do it. My mom was Student Council president, so it would mean a lot to me if I got to fill this role. She has taught me so much about being a leader, and I would be so grateful to lead like her next year.”

WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS AS STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT?

“Our main goals as President and Vice President would be being super inclusive with our school community as well as promoting a positive environment throughout different school events and throughout the year. I believe that everyone wants to be included in something, and having the opportunity to impact our school in a positive, friendly, and inclusive way will help promote our school spirit and overall bring each person in our school to become a whole.”

WHAT STEPS WILL YOU TAKE TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR COMMITMENTS?

“Some of the steps that I will take to follow through with this is reaching out to different school organizations that also deserve recognition for their accomplishments and to help promote them to the school to make their upcoming school events known. I think that this way, we could get many people from different clubs and organizations to feel well known and also included, a part of our school, and also that each of the different organizations are what make Liberty unique.”

HOW WOULD YOU HELP FOSTER SCHOOL SPIRIT?

I would encourage the school to attend different events and make people able to actually want to attend them. I think that making each of the events that we have leaves me and Malia the ability to allow and include everyone in this school even if they are not involved in sports or any clubs around the school. I believe that communication, announcements, and also switching up the ideas that we have to make more people want to attend is a great way to do that. 

HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR RUNNING MATE, AND WHAT MAKES YOU THE BEST TEAM FOR THE ROLES OF PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT?

“I chose my running mate because Malia is a super dependable person who I can keep account for. Even though we have many of the same ideas and we work super well together, I believe she has super great leadership characteristics that I would want to work with throughout this school year. I also think that she works well with groups and has great communication skills and these are all different qualities that would make up a leader in our school. I think we would be the best team for President and Vice President of the student body because we demonstrate leadership skills that are strictly for improving the school and not just little ideas for the student council or for us. We want to make this school a better, more inclusive place to be at whether it is at a pep rally that a person were to attend or in the student section at a football game. I think me and Malia are able to present those skills to be able to fully run an organization and be a strong, positive leader for the schools.”

WHAT WOULD IT MEAN TO YOU TO BE STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT?

“For me, to become student council president, it means I am able to lead the school in a positive, friendly way that wants and encourages people to join new clubs, sports, organizations, or being more involved in our events that we host. I feel like having the ability to become the president of the student body can help me have the ability to change the way things in our school are to make them more inclusive among everyone in the school and not just little sections of people. I think being able to have this opportunity is so amazing and I honestly couldn’t have done it without the support of each Redhawk.”
