Random Song Quote:

I love this Fleetwood Mac classic:

"If you wake up and you don't want to smile If it takes just a little while Open your eyes and look at the day You'll see things in a different

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow...

Don't stop, it'll soon be here..."

Our election season is over:

As the GOP candidates continue to battle it out in a series of debates in an effort to attract voters in states like Iowa and New Hampshire, we expedited our process for electing our Student Government representatives. Two weeks ago students concluded their week-long campaigns with speeches in front of the student body on Friday, September 2, and the election was held on the same day at lunch. On Tuesday of last week, The School announced the officers. It is important to note that all of the candidates ran great campaigns and they should be proud of themselves for running.

SGA Officers:

President - Mikayla Smolensky

Vice-President - Ryan Middleman

Treasurer - Olivia Dadoun

Secretary - Liam Faigen

6th Grade Representative - Ryan Bronston

Congratulations to you all.

Now, they turn their attention to a few of their primary responsibilities for the year. The first thing you will notice is that within the next couple of weeks, SGA will develop, plan and produce their weekly video announcements that will be played in advisory each Monday and then posted on this blog. Second, SGA will begin accepting and approving proposals for clubs and then organize and oversee the club fair on September 21.

Finally, they will vet the Tikkun Olam projects in the 7th and 8th Grade. As mentioned last week, the first Tikkun Olam day will be October 12. On that day, 7th and 8th Grade students will participate in an activity that they choose and plan within their advisories. The goal is to enhance the experience for all students by giving them more opportunities to choose the community service organizations that they feel most strongly about. Within their advisory, they will contact groups schedule the day's activities, and finalize all the logistics. SGA will make sure that there is little overlap as all activities must be approved first by SGA and then Dr. Bishop and me. So, things are going to get busy as we are now at full speed.

Have a great week everyone!
