Alice’s Blog – If I was elected president of my school…

Hello everyone.

If I was elected, I would try my best to be a good leader. I’d always be here to listen to your concerns and ideas despite being a bit of a chatterbox. I have lots of ideas too to make schools in particular a happier place for everyone.

Today let me tell you about my ideas.

Filtered Water

My first idea concerns water. I have asked a lot of students and one big problem that comes up often is water. The water in most schools just does not taste very nice. So with filtered water banks it would taste much better and we’d all drink more. Drinking more water is healthy for you. I know cost may be a problem but I think all the students could come together to raise money. Another way to provide them is to get parents to chip in to make it happen because our health means everything to them.

Movement Breaks

My next idea is movement breaks. I think movement breaks are very important for everyone because I know that sometimes people may be fidgeting and sighing in the class and it can be very disrupting for the teacher and students, so this way everyone can be happy. I know people already get movement breaks but I think we could make it more frequent and more easily accessible.

School Choir

My third idea to talk to you about is a school choir. Now I know many are doing the National Children’s Choir, but I think schools should get all students involved, and anyone who wants to be in a choir. I thought we could get a teacher who really loves singing too, and who would like to do it, to be the conductor. You might think oh well no one would want to be in a choir, but I think if we got fifty people’s signatures then it would show that people really would like to do it. I know a lot of Swifties in this class who would like to do it too!

Thank you for listening to my ideas. I would love to hear your ideas too.
