Seventeen 4th & 5th graders are vying for the offices of President, Vice President, Secretary & Treasurer of our ʻAha ʻŌpio (Student Council). The candidates met today to review the schedule and guidelines for campaigning. Candidates may actively campaign during the week of Aug. 22-Aug. 26. On Monday, Aug. 29th, the candidates will be giving their campaign speeches to the entire student body at morning oli!
Prior to the meeting, the students were asked to read a message board that noted, “How are you feeling (nervous, excited, etc) about running for an ʻAha ʻŌpio office? Hold your thoughts and comments to share with others”. Everyone had an opportunity to meet one another and share how they were feeling about this endeavor. Feeling rans from being “very nervous” to “I am feeling competive” or “I am sooo excited!”
