Student Elections

The student of Wayne Middle School decided to run for the new student council. Each of the students prepared a speech to convince their peers to vote them to be on student council. The students all gathered in the gym to listen and find a reason to vote.

The students from the seventh grade that ran were Autumn Chestnut, Ava Petree, Dreygan Neirmeyer, Maddie Nelson; Ava and Autumn won the election. The 8th grade students that ran were Jake Chesnut, and Ethan Beecher.  The sixth grade students that ran were Payden Jackson and Kylie Palmer. 

Teachers voted sixth graders Kyra Peterson, and Maren Mitchell, seventh graders Maddie Nelson, and Cienna Cropper, and eighth graders Tylee Torgerson, and Miles Hinkle.

I've found that the main reason why most of the students ran was to add new ideas or new activities to the school, honestly, that’s pretty neat.  Here is some dialogue- 

(Me) Why did you decide to run for student council?
(Payden) I just want to see how fun it was.
(Me) How well do you think you will do?
(Payden) Ok-ish
(Me) When did you decide to run?
(Jake) The day before.
(Me) How did you come up with your poster slogan if you made one?
(Jake) uhh..I didn’t make one.
