Jada Woods Shared 
: “I’m chief of the high school. I’m also a captain of the girls volleyball team. I didn’t do it for the title, I did it because I wanted to show my younger peers that it’s okay to go for higher positions. I wanted to advocate. student choice, to show them that their concerns matter just as much as the adults concerns. I wanted to help them find their voice and that confidence to get their opinions out to act as like a megaphone, pretty much, to their thoughts.”
Riess Jerry Shared : “the reason I’d like to be part of this amazing council is simply because I wanna help in any way I can. I have many ideas and suggestions I’d love to share with the school and community here, I mainly focus on mental health because as a young child i didn’t have any real help or support from my family and acquaintances, I don’t want anyone else to go through their life thinking they’re alone or not cared about, I’m very thoughtful and caring to the people I love and care about so it’s not hard to be thoughtful and understanding about things both related to mental health and school activities, I may not always be in the best mood at times but I still try my best to show up, even if I’m having the toughest times at home. It’s my job to help whoever I can and if it takes time, just know I’m a very persistent and patient person, not to mention I love hugs.”
