  1. You must vote for me because the other students get in too much trouble. Plus, if you want the right food selection I am the guy to come to. So vote for me Jeremiah Heaton for school president!

  2. (Elizabeth Delgado-Bostic) I would be honored to be school president. I make great grades and am very respectful to all teachers. I have many experiences with being in charge. Think,don't you think you hardworking students should get more breaks? We may get to go on many field trips or even see some school plays. I can make this school year fun and less boring. Won't you choose a student who would deserves this title? A student that could make a change?

  4. Also if the other students are in trouble they will most likely be suspended so they could not be in school to do the things that are needed for the school.

  5. If I were running for school president , I would try my best to use all three persuasion techniques. To appeal to Ethos, I would say, (this is made up) "I am the schools valedictorian and I would love to be a part of this schools presidential staff. For pathos, "I have been trying to be schools president for 3 years, and i am not stopping yet!" Finally, I would apply to logos with, "I have seen the other candidates for schools president and I am the most mature and oldest candidate. That is how I would word my speech for school president. VOTE FOR BENNETT NEU!

  6. You should vote me for school president, because i'm responsible. I want to make this school better and a little bit more fun. Like with school lunches for an example, the school lunches are terrible, I will find a way to get better tasting food, and if you wanted to you could buy your lunch, just bring your own money. The field trips, their fun but don't you want to have more in one year. I would make it possible to have at least 5 a year. Sounds cool right? So you should just think about, and if I do become school president, you guys won't regret it.

  7. I want to be your school president because I could make this school year more fun for you hardworking kids. Wouldn't you want a president that will give you more breaks? I could increase your free time after lunch and maybe make field trips. Isn't this what you want? Well I'll give it to you, all you have to do is Vote For Me!!- Blake.G

  8. Through my whole middle school life, I have been a very trustworthy student who can be a leader.I have made fantastic grades, have created creative projects, and try to help the school as much as possible. If I become school president, I will address all censers that my piers have because I do care for what you all think.

  10. I should be school president because I will provide excellent hallway service providing safe passage in a jammed up hallway. I will change how long we can stay outside. I will have a whole period dedicated to finishing any missing assignments and socializing with friends. I will allow all electronic devices in the cafeteria during the lunch period. I would make the best school president over all the other candidates because I actually care about the student body.

  11. I would make all the things that the students would want but they would have to do good and keep things tidy, not losing their books. So if the students don't keep things clean I would take away one of the things they earned and put it away.(Malik Jeffery)

  12. I would be a good president because i would make sure that everyone had what they needed for class.I would also be a person that anyone could tell about their feelings.An not least but last tell everybody that they had a reason to be able to learn and be apart of school.

  13. As you may already know, I am running for school president. I believe that I deserve this and you should too. As a student, I am a hard worker and I am determined to improve our school. My reasons for running is that I've always struggled with talking to to people and making friends, but that did not stop my drive to help others at our school. During my time as president, I will make sure that our halls/bathrooms will stay clean and cafeteria meals will be served with the most care. I understand that some of my ideas may sound as if impossible, but I can promise you that i will make a positive impact at our school.

I would love to be your school president so I help this school grow. Without a president to lead this school would worsen and become a bad environment for students like me to learn. If I am voted school president I will make sure you are taught well and having fun at the same time.

  16. I would drink toilet water, only because its much cleaner. Wastewater(aka sea water)has roughly 1,000 parts per million of salt,and that water isn't clean or filtered. but seawater has roughly 35,000 parts per million. Desalination is also, of course, limited to states near seawater.And I don't know how close my state is to the ocean. Not that many states recycle water.Only about 7% and those states are closer to the water than I am.Only a handful of communities actually drink recycled wastewater, Mr. Miller says, including El Paso, parts of Los Angeles County, and Orange County,
    California. So I think I would drink toilet any day over sea water. At least I know its clean .

  18. If you vote me as class president, you will be trusting the hands of a reliable, honest, and hardworking student who knows right from wrong. You wouldn't trust a criminal or a drug-dealer, would you? I promise you I'm not any of those things, and never will be, and I'm sure the school will thank you in return for making me your class president.

  20. I am running for school president as some of you may have heard before. If i get elected i want to make school as fun as possible but still learn all of the standards we need to master before TN READY.A school president needs to be organized, have excelling grades, and needs to be able to take on the challenge of being school president. I hold all of these wonderful characteristics that create an amazing school president for the 2015-16 school year at Rock Springs Middle School.

  26. If I were to run for school president, I would try to use Ethos, Pathos, and Logos to make my writing better. I would also use a rhetorical question, such as "Why would I be a good school president?" I would follow that with something logical, showing why I would be a good school president. "I would be a good school president because I work hard and would try to make the school a better place" would be a logical sentence about why I should be chosen. I could also used emotion and say something like "I've wanted this job for years, and my family would be disappointed if I didn't become school president." I could also make myself look good by saying "I would be a good school president because I do all my work on time and will help others."

If needed I will deny the teachers in what they say to prove them wrong and you right!"

I promise to protect all kids who get bullied on a daily basis.there are an average of 3.2 million kids are bullied a year and 160,000 students skip school just to avoid bullying. those who bully will be sent to the principal and will be suspended for a week and shall have an hour to work on all missing work when returning to school. I believe that all students should have good lunches and not horrible shipped lunches.most shipped lunches are made in factories and can contain some sicknesses and can make the human body ill. if you vote for me I promise to make all your wildest dreams come true ( that line was said by Pedro from the movie Napoleon Dynamite )

  42. If i was running for school president i would let students use their phones in the hallway as long as they are not on anything inappropriate. Also, to prevent this from happening, i would arrange a fundraiser and if we got enough money i would get somebody to install a device that could cut off the internet if it detected anything inappropriate on the students' phones.Everyone who knows me says i am a kind person and they think that i am really sympathetic. I would also decrease the homework amount, not completely but just a little bit. I would also let the students sit where they want to sit in the cafeteria, no assigned tables. So this is what i would do if i was school president.

  44. For me to persuade the student body to vote for me to be the school president. I would say, "I, Megan Baker, am running for school president. Here are a few examples why you should vote for me: I keep my grades up, I never get in trouble like most other students, and I never talk back to the teachers and always respect them. Would you want a school president that does all that or a school president that is very disrespectful and does not care for his/her grade? I didn't think that you would.

    Pathos---KITTENS WILL DIE IF U NO ELECT ME!!!!!!!!!!

    Ethos: "My grades are always on top, i never disrespect teachers or students, and never get in trouble during class."
    Pathos: "If you vote for me, i will make sure that we do Fall Festivals & Spring Flings.Maybe even allow students on the phones during study hall or lunch."
    Logos: "In all honesty, why would you want a disrespecting student as school president.That wouldn't make the teachers or the principal convinced to do fun things.

I would make sure you get to class on time, help with homework in the study hall, and even help you carry books or pick them up when you drop them. I'll be your most helpful friend.(: Voting for me would a smart decision on your behalf. I could make the school more fun and exciting for students and you'll still get your education! I can even change the lunch menu to some new delicious foods. Who will you choose at the election?

  56. If I were to run for the school president I would use the ethos method. Showing the school that I'm a good person may actually influence the crowd to vote for me. For instance, while I present my campaign speech, it would be a good idea to mention that i enjoy volunteering to help the elderly, I often donate to the less fortunate, and I love to watch babies. All of those are good examples that can express moral character in a person.

  59. Running for school president would be simple as long as I addressed ethos,logos,and pathos correctly. My ethos statement would be that I make wonderful grades, throughout all my school years I've gotten multiple academic grades, and I use big words. Appealing to everyone's emotions would be easy. I would simply tell everyone that- if I was school president- there would be new additions to the school that appeals to everyone. Like some type of animal room since animals relieve stress and strengthen focus! Or creating a new phone policy which allows students on their phones during certain times of the day. Finally, I'd get to everyone's logic by telling them,"Who wants an ignorant, disrespecting and even immature "child" as there presidents when you can have someone who knows what they are doing and how to do it."

  60. If I were to be included in a school president campaign first, I would give students enough time to take care of fines or overdue lunch money. Next, I would persuade to give students another minute after the bell to get to class if they`re running late or using the restroom. Finally, middle school is time rushing, so students would get another minute to get to their lockers on time and quick. ~Cole M.

  62. Using ethos. Vote for me, because I work hard at school and I always get good grades. I ways been a good child and never turn in anything late. Also, i always been fair and never tried to cheat.

    using pathos- I always been there for people who have problems. I always been there for people who been hurt by someone and I'm always there. Wouldn't you want a person who helps people be you school president?

    Using logos- Won't it be smart to chose someone who smart and never play tricks? Who always pays attention in class and who always work hard? Vote for me!

  63. If I were the school president, there would be many noticeable changes. For one, all the money collected from the slushy stand would be given to a charity that the study body would decide on . Then there would be more of a portion size for lunch, and a dessert that would cost only 1$ extra.

  65. If I were to run for school president, my speech would go a little like this...

    I should be school president because I follow directions, make good grades, and understand student needs. If I was president, our school would be well put together and students would get better support and want to learn more. When I'm president, students will enjoy learning more because we will have fun activities to go with learning. Also we would have one free class period where the whole school went outside to pick up all the garbage to keep our earth clean. In conclusion, I would be a great school president because students would look up to me and want to do the good things I do. Do you want the students at our school to fail and never do anything good for the earth?

Well if I was your school president I would make sure to do everything to please the students. All students have at least one idea to make this school a better place. I would create a club to help the less fortunate. If you do not vote for me you could be hurting a kid in need. I would also seek into better school lunches, work on getting newer books in the library, and make students more involved. I should be school president for these reasons and many more!
