Student Government will hold their elections this Thursday, April 6th. Voting booths will be open during the school day for all registered students. Students from all grade levels will have the opportunity to vote for their class officers, class senators, and student body executive board.
The Student Government Presidential Debate was held on Friday, March 31st. Vice Presidential and Presidential candidates had the opportunity to address the student body, and explain their platforms for the upcoming 2017-18 school year. Anna Witkowski and Eric Wrogg have been campaigning for Student Body President along with their vice-presidential running mates for the opportunity to represent the student body.
Wrogg is both excited and nervous for what Election Day will bring. He commends Witkowski’s performance at the debate and, although critical of his own performance, believes he did well. He also acknowledges all the hard work his running-mate Kaylee Walsh has put into their campaign, especially her ideas for their platform and the posters advertising their candidacy around school.
“This election has been an amazing experience and I wouldn’t expect anything less from the candidates,” said Wrogg.
Witkowski notes that she was very impressed with the performance of all the candidates at the debate. Going into the debate, she felt as though the election results could go either way. After the debate, this still holds true.
“I’m glad that many students got a chance to understand the candidates and their platforms, but I still don’t think there’s going to be a clear winner,” said Witkowski.
Going into Election Day, Witkowski is confident in her campaign, and mentions how both tickets have put forth so much effort.
“Basing our platform on school-wide service was a decision that was very important to Jordan and I,” said Witkowski. “I think we explained ourselves well in at the debate, and I’m going to be proud of all four of us in the end.”
For those interested in playing an active role in Woodland’s democracy, voting will take place during the day on Thursday.
