Logan Cholody ’17 // SA Presidential Candidate

I, Logan Cholody, am filled with enthusiasm about leading our school’s tremendous Student Association. Being on SA has completely defined who I am as a Grosse Pointe South student. To my teammates and I, it feels that I am nothing but at home doing what I do. I am ready to serve our Student Association with a smile as I have been my entire time here.

Being President would mean great things for my fellow members of SA. I am collected, organized, poised, motivated, and tactful. I love working in teams, while I also work very well on tasks alone. As president, I would leave no stone unturned to ensure a fluid-running student government. I know SA members would appreciate me as president; I would be able to contribute my work ethic and social skills to a broader group of students. I am easy for others to talk to; I believe communication is among the most important things which a team needs. I am organized; by staying organized, our SA events can run smoothly, and homecoming can be easier on all of us.

I hope for your vote this election. If you elect me, you can expect wonderful things for our 2016-2017 school year coming from our extraordinary Student Association. Thank you, Grosse Pointe South, for considering me, Logan Cholody, as a leader of our beloved school. I would love to have your vote for Student Association President!

Hi class of 2018, I am Blair Cullen and I can say with great  pleasure I have been your class president for the last two years. I would love to represent our amazing class for another year and with your help I know we can continue making great strides in our goals for prom. The class of 2018 has accomplished great things over the last 2 years with successful fundraisers such as the coffee house which was an example of what we can do if we work together and I have enjoyed the privilege of leading the way in these efforts.  With hosting the float parties It showed me how great things turn out when we all work together and the brilliant ideas which came from all different types of people, which is something I would like to bring back if re-elected, to have everyone even if outside of student council know their ideas and thoughts will always be heard. With the position of class president comes great responsibility and with my experience in student government I am fully prepared to take on that responsibility,with making the next 2 years the best years yet. Working with such great people has made me a better leader and one that still has things to work on and with your help i’m hoping I will have another year to make our class the best it can be, so vote Blair Cullen for junior president.

Dear Class of 2018, the president of Student Council is in charge of leading our class to fundraise money for prom and lead us to have an awesome spirit day.  If elected president I will help not only lead our class to accomplish every one of our goals, but also help our community.  With my efficient, positive and productive leadership we will have outstanding posters, shirts and a spectacular float guaranteed!  With my strategic planning we can accomplish all these things ahead of time, allowing us to do community service projects.  These past two years at South I have had tons of experience leading.  I’ve chaired events like the pep assembly, adopt a family, outdoor decorations for our spirit day and much more.  If you elect me as president, our class will not only have a memorable prom and homecoming, but also help the community.  Thank you for your time.

Amy Ellis ’19 // Class of 2019 President
