Class elections were held at Jonathan Law on Friday, October 1, and for the Class of 2024, Talia Salanto and Hailey Russo tied for class president.
Class office is an opportunity for students to get involved and make a difference in the school. Students are able to participate in decorating or planning events and create new events for the school calendar.
“This upcoming year, I am most excited to plan spirit week and try to create new events for the school,” Salanto said. “I am hoping to try to make this upcoming year as normal as possible.”
Due to COVID-19, Law was not able to have many school events last year. The Class of 2024 officers are hoping to change that and to increase school spirit.
“I ran for vice president because I can help fix problems that other students want resolved,” sophomore Vice President Caden Simpson said.
If students have questions or concerns, they can contact the class officers.
“Being secretary I will be responsible for taking notes at all meetings and reporting those notes to the council,” sophomore Secretary Samantha Chy said.
Getting engaged with the school is an upward progression of responsibility.
“I decided to be senator to be involved with the school and as senator I am responsible for asking questions and listening,” sophomore Senator Helen Chizmazia said.
Being class officers will help these students learn leadership and learn how to work with a team.
“I wanted to become prescient is because freshman year we didn’t have much,” sophomore president Russo said. “We didn’t get any dances or as some people would say the real high school experience, so I am hoping I can change that.”
Overall, the members of the Student Council at Law are all very excited for this upcoming year. Officers are excited to plan events and make law Lawmazing again.
