And the Winner Is... Westview Student Council

from 2023 Winter | Wildcat Chronicle

Introducing our Board of Trustees

It's become a pretty fun Westview tradition that 1830 building Student Council elections are held on the Halloween dress-up day at Westview. All Middle School is encouraged to run for office. In the weeks leading up to the campaign, interested Middle School students are encouraged to campaign by creating posters, preparing speeches, and talking up their candidacy to both Middle School and Upper Elementary students.

This year the entire student body of the 1830 assembled outdoors at the amphitheater to listen to the candidate speeches. Running for student council is a great opportunity for our middle schoolers to practice public speaking, and the relaxed holiday atmosphere of being dressed up for Halloween serves as a great ice breaker. This year's candidates came prepared, and we were so proud of the way they represented themselves with confidence and poise in front of the entire building. Following the campaign speeches, voting took place, and the following students were elected by their peers to represent Westview: Aston (president), Thomas (vice-president), Cason (secretary), and Jayson (treasurer).
