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!!
