Because Joe is going to be a 6th grader next year - his last year of elementary school (which is hard for me to believe that he and Hailey will be in Jr. High soon), the 6th graders at Jessup are offered a chance to run for Student Council office. Joe came home on Monday and informed us that he wanted to run for office. He had a hard time deciding whether he wanted to run for VP or for Treasurer. He chose to run for Treasurer.
The school has a very thorough process to run. Once a student decides to run for office they have to get at least 5 students to sign a nominee paper. Once they sign that they then are eligible to run. Joe said originally 9 students became eligible for Treasurer. Then the 6th grade class picks 3 of the nominees to run for that office - Joe was lucky enough to be part of the three that could run for the Treasurer for the school. So, Joe did some campaigning last week, hung some fliers, posters and had to give a speech to all of the classes. The school voted on Friday and Joe won!
He is now the Jessup 2009-2010 Student Council Treasurer.
Congratulations Joe!
