Student Council Elections!

My blogging is not as regular as it should be, I apologize.  I hope to improve my frequency and also get some pictures up on the blog of some of the action here at Hale.
Last week we finished our student council election process.   It is a very thorough process that had widespread participation this year with four candidates for president, six for vice president, three for treasurer and two for secretary.  All very well qualified.  Last Tuesday they spoke to the entire school assembly as part of a candidates forum.  They even took questions.  The speeches were very varied in terms of approach and content, but truly all well done.
Last Thursday was election day and the rule was any race that the winner did not obtain a majority of votes would result in a two person run-off.  The vice presidential contest required such a run off on Friday.  At the end of the day Friday the executive board was in place.  The members are:
P.J. Anastas                      President
Sarah Clopeck                  Vice President
Lyndsey Hawkes              Treasurer
Brooke Perisho                 Secretary
Congratulations go to the executive board and all the other candidates.  The level of participation was great.
Thanks to Mr. Keaveney for making it an enjoyable, informative and educational process for all involved!
