Nominees make their case in Camp Avenue Student Council elections

Fourth, fifth and sixth graders at Camp Avenue School in the North Merrick School District gathered on Oct. 29 to hear from their fellow students who are vying for positions on the Student Council. 

Nine students running for various Student Council positions confidently gave their
speeches in front of an audience of their peers and teachers. Each made a case for why they deserve the votes of their fellow students and pitched ideas about their goals if elected. Some, for example, suggested expanding food options during lunch and offering a wider variety of goods in the school store, while others pitched fundraising drives and recycling bins in each classroom. Later in the day, each grade participated in the democratic process of casting their votes.
