Photo Op: 5th grade students giving campaign speeches to entire student body
WHAT:
More than a dozen 5th graders at Beacon Hill Elementary are campaigning for one of six seats on the new Student Council at the school this week. The nominees will be giving a two-minute speech to the entire student body stating the position on the council they’re running for, a need they see at the school and what they propose to do about it, and why they should be elected.
Platforms students are running on include recycling, anti-bullying, food drives, fundraising for children's hospitals, and starting a "green day" on Fridays for students to pick up any trash they see.
WHEN:
Wednesday, October 17
1:10 pm
WHERE:
Beacon Hill Elementary
257 Alpha Dr.
Longview, WA 98632
WHY:
Learning about leadership is important, and teacher Laura Cain was “looking for a way to make a difference in the lives of these students, and to help them make a difference in the lives of others, as well.”

Voting will happen after all speeches are given at the 1:10 assembly and officers will be announced Thursday morning. The first council meeting will be October 29.
