Let Me Serve You

Sterling is running for Student Council this week.  As a fourth grader, it's pretty low key.  He told me he needed a poster and a speech.  He wrote the entire speech himself and we worked together on the poster.  I'll post the text of the speech later if Sterling will let me, but here's the poster.  I like how it turned out.  Sterling is happy with it and that's the important thing!


9/15:  Here is Sterling's speech.  He will give it to his class tomorrow.  Good luck, Sterling!! 
Hey, everyone. As you can see, I want to be in Student Council. But, Student Council doesn’t mean “I am King.” It means “I stand out and serve others.” If I represent the class, I need to be responsible. I go out of my way to serve others. I am very kind, responsible, and just a good friend. There are lots of ways I can serve others: if someone drops their books, I could go over, put my books down, and help. If someone drops their colored pencils or crayons (which happens), I could—and would—help pick them up. And if someone’s just having an off day, I would go and comfort them. I think I would be good for Student Council because I serve others and am responsible. I hope you will go out of your way to serve others and vote for me. Thank you. 

9/20:  Sterling won the election.  He is one happy kid!  Way to go, Sterling!!

What are his views on the important issues, like capital punishment for bullies and keeping steroids out of t-ball?

Great job, Sterling, on both the speech and poster. I'll bet you win! Let me know the outcome. I would surely vote for you, but then I'm your grandma!!!

Love and miss you. Good luck!!!
