Student Council recently returned from the North Dakota Association of Student Council's annual state convention in Bismarck. The convention engages students with motivational speakers, elections for state offices, mini break out sessions where students are engaged in discussions on various topics that affect them and their schools, and collaboration with student leaders across the state.
Breanna Schooley was one of 12 students from across the state that ran for the state office of president. Schooley was required to complete a campaign video, speech, and poster. She then actively campaigned at the convention to earn votes. While she didn't win, we are very proud of her efforts. Schooley truly shows what it is to be a student leader and is an asset to Alexander School. Way to go Breanna!
