Essays Class of 2024

I would like to hold a position of class officer for the class of 2024 because I feel like I am trusted and respected by a lot of people in my grade and the school. I think my network of people is very large and diverse because of the fact that I participate in sports and clubs. I also would like to hold a position because I feel that I truly care about the betterment of my school and I feel like I have ideas that can help with that improvement. I’ve already served this role this prior year and I feel like I’ve gotten experience with ways to raise money for the school which is one of the primary responsibilities of the class officers. I feel like I’m a good choice for class officer because I’ve been in many leadership positions and will be very comfortable in this role.

Hello sophomores! I am running to be re-elected for a class officer position representing our grade throughout the 2022 - 2023 school year. Our high school experience so far has been both unique and challenging. But, we have managed to make the best of it despite that, especially on
the leadership front. As a class officer I have been able to help make our school a better place and ease the transitions of “Covid Learning.” In addition, I have brainstormed how to make freshman orientation better for incoming classes, plan inaugural events such as the Spring Fling,
and fundraise for our class. Some of my strengths which align with this position include being a charismatic, detail-oriented, effective advocate. I would be honored to serve another consecutive year of leadership in our school community, helping the Class of 2024 become the best it can be.
Thank you for your support!

Hi! My name is Kelly Kilbourn and I want to be your class officer. Our grade was impacted so much by Covid and hopefully our junior year is the year we can finally get back to normal. I want to be a class officer to make the school community more enjoyable for all students through fun events and activities. Now that we can finally get back together without masks on, it would be great to add more events and experiences that were lost to us, such as school dances or pep rallies. Oftentimes events are adult based and don’t really match what actual students want, which is something I would like to change as a class officer. I also would like to set goals and fundraisers in the benefit of our class and our community. I hope you will consider voting me for class officer.  

I’m Milly Marcous and I would love to return as a class officer next year. I believe in advocating for mental health and a positive school environment. As a two-sport athlete, a peer advocate, and a friend to many I think I could represent people from a variety of social groups and act in all of our interests. Most of the people running our school haven't been teenagers for a long time, and don't always know what we need. Listening to the student body and acting on our concerns could improve our enjoyment and motivation so much! School events like pep rallies and dances are very important, but I also think that adding something like a field day to get
outside would be amazing! I have the motivation and responsibility to get things done, and I know I’d be a great addition to our class counsel.

I would love to be elected as a class officer for next year. Having worked in this position before, I know I have the skills necessary to be an effective officer. I think I would thrive in this position because I am good at listening and communication, am motivated, and have both succeeded in and enjoyed past leadership positions, including two years of student council experience. It would be my honor to be reelected as a class officer and represent our grade. I’m looking forward to another amazing year with you guys!

Some of my peers in the class of 2024 are probably thinking, “is Jack Tompkins seriously running for class officer?”. Or, “what does Jack bring to the table?”. Growing up, it was always a dream of mine to represent a large body of people in government. I see myself as a man who is honest, trustworthy, conscientious, and diligent. Although I am nowhere near perfect, I know I will be the best man I can be for the class of 2024 and the Daniel Hand staff. My past experiences have helped me a lot throughout my whole life. I am someone who will do whatever I can to satisfy someone else's needs. I am open-minded and willing to talk to any student who
needs assistance or just someone to chat with. I am currently a part of the Daniel Hand Football, Basketball, and Track & Field teams. My on the field experiences have helped me shape into the man I am today. I always listen to my coaches and teammates for advice so I can try to become the best man I can personally be. I always bring enthusiasm and positivity to the field no matter how I am feeling. I feel like this translates to the classroom at Hand as well. I am always excited to learn and grow. I am very personable and never afraid to crack jokes to lighten up a mood. I believe I am the best candidate for the class officer position. As class officer, I would present more fun events and activities for students. During your free periods I will provide more games like cornhole, badminton, and dodgeball. I want to also attempt to bring back the couches on the senior bridge. I will also help solve problems for all of my students' needs. I will request that the tent-heaters in the courtyard be kept out longer so we can stay warm outside. I will also
help take care of bug/insect problems around the school. Even though I was not a class officer, last fall I brought attention to the wasp problem that occurred in the courtyard. I also let the main office know about the dangerous and broken lunch chairs, and the rock throwers of T1 Lunch 3B. I will do anything in my power to secure the safety of our students. I will create an environment where all students feel welcome and safe in the Daniel Hand community. I will also plan events and field trips for our class. The last official field trip we had in MPS was Baur Park. How Lame! I will plan trips that our students would enjoy. In the future, I will help find
fun venues for events like prom and homecoming. I also want to attempt to negotiate ticket prices for these events so they are more affordable for everyone. I will simply just get things done for the class of 2024. In conclusion, I hope you will strongly consider voting for me as class officer.
