My name is Hannah Milliken and I am interested in Student Leadership because I want to help out in the community in any way, make our school a more positive place, help put a stop to bullying in our school, and help students achieve their goals. I want to help put a stop to bullying in our school by teaching the students what bullying is so they understand it better and what they can do to prevent it from happening. Some other ways to put a stop to bulling is have the younger kids make posters and put up through the elemen- tary building hallways. I think when we have the younger kids’ make posters it will help them understand it better because they are making their own visual aid. I would make the school a more positive place by staying positive and encouraging others. Whenever I see someone feeling down about themselves or getting upset I try to encourage them by telling them keep up the good work, good job, don’t give up, and to have confidence in themselves. One idea I have for this school year is to help clean up after sporting events. Another idea I have is to tutor kids that need help during guided studies or before and after school. In sixth grade I earned the Presidential Award for having a’s all year. I am always on top of my grades and I always look for ways to make them better. I never allow my grades to drop below a B and I encourage myself to get a’s. This year it is my goal to make the honor roll and have straight a’s all year. One of my favorite things to do is participate in the Green County Relay for Life. I have been participating in it for the past 8 years to honor my Aunt and to help find a cure for cancer. Another thing I like to do is volunteer for community service. I volunteered at the Winslow River Days selling 50/50 tickets. I also help shovel elderly people’s driveways and sidewalks in the winter. I help my elderly neighbor carry in their groceries and visit with them for a while. These are just some of the things I have done. I am always looking for ways to help people and the community. I am a very positive person and I hope that you consider me for a Student Leadership position. P A G E 8 My name is Jordan Streckwald and I am in seventh grade. I would enjoy serving on the student leadership committee again this year. I was part of this organization last year and I enjoyed it very much. In the past year, I received the Presidential Award for academic excellence and was awarded the top sci- ence and top language arts student award. As a part of student leadership last year, I helped the preschoolers in Mrs. Raabs class and helped with concessions. As a group, we did fundraisers, numerous clothing drives, and sponsored dances. I am also active in my church. We do activities such as helping the preschoolers in bible school and we send packages to military families. It would also be fun to help the community in student leadership. We could do food drives a few times a year for the local food pantry. We could volunteer at the friendship center, and we could decorate the nursing home for the holidays. We could also help the environment by sponsoring an electronic equipment recycling drive. I hope I will be able to experience this amazing opportunity again this year! I loved being a part of stu- dent leadership last year and hope to do it again! Thank you for considering me for this opportunity. Sincerely, Jordan Streckwald My name is Alex Daughenbaugh and I would like to be a member of Student Leadership for the 2014-2015 school year. I am new here at Le-Win and when I heard about this opportunity, I knew I wanted to apply because I really like helping people and the community. I feel that I would be a good Student Leader because I have helped organize several fundraisers and participated in activities to improve communities and help people in need. I am a member of the McConnell United Methodist Church and volunteer to serve people at our spaghetti supper and our soup and sandwich luncheons. This year I also worked at the Stephen- son County Fair to help raise money for our Youth Group program. Last year I helped organize a toy drive at school for the people who lost their homes in the Washington, Illinois tornado and we collected over 1,000 toys. I was also a part of a blanket drive that collected blankets to send to third world countries in Africa.
