This little boy ran for SBO office this year, and we had so much fun doing it! Definitely brought back memories of my "glory days" in office :). We had bounced around a bunch of ideas, and finally decided on the #randombutawesome theme....it was a hit!
They did it a little different from when I was growing up.....primaries you were allowed 4 posters and a banner. We printed off T-shirts and wore them a couple times during the week. You don't run for a specific office, you run for a "class", or student body position. There were 18 other people running for 4 spots. Ayden passed the primaries, then was allowed 2 more posters and another banner. He was then required to make a campaign video:
They showed the videos in all CTE, or US History classes and the students were required to log into their school accounts to vote. They had a 62% voter turnout.
After it was all done Ayden had made it! That day after announcing the winning four candidates, they get interviewed by last years officers and the student government teacher, Mr. Madsen. That small committee decides which position each person should be. You're looking at the new 2014-15 SBO 2nd Vice! Good job, Ayden!
