The campaigning begins Monday and continues Tuesday early morning before school. They have a list of rules for the campaigning. They will give speeches during chapel next Wednesday and parents are of course welcome to attend. The race was close for all the nominees. Just a heads up that September 4th is picture day and that will also be the day we induct our new Student Council officers. Have a great weekend!
