Hi! Most of you probably already know me, but my name is Kristin and I’m running for student council. I’d like to tell you a few reasons why voting for me would be the best decision you make all year. First, I plan to ask Mr. Casteel to allow us to bring our laptops, ipods, and ipads into the classrooms to help enhance our learning. Secondly, if elected, I promise to finally convince the school board that we desperately need lockers here at NMS. Finally, electing me will ensure we get that salad bar in the cafeteria that we’ve been promised. As you can see, voting for me will make this year the best yet at North Middle School, so what are you waiting for? Get out there and vote for Kristin!

Students at North Middle School succeed in many different areas. We have excellent scores on the TCAP each year because our students and teachers work very hard. North Stars also excel in athletics. Our sports teams play their hearts out in every game. In addition to academics and athletics, we also have many talented musicians in our band and chorus. We are so proud of all of the accomplishments of our North Middle Students. Thank you for allowing us to share our success with you at tonight’s meeting.

I am so excited that I was invited here today to share my stories with you. I hope that you enjoy these special stories. The first story I’m going to tell you is about an ant and a grasshopper. Listen carefully as I tell you about the important lesson that the grasshopper learned about planning and hard work.
