Talbie's Campaign

It's that time of year...

Election Season!

Talbie has loved every second of her Sophomore year on 

Student Council.  This week is the critical week where she will run again

for her Jr. year.  She's been working hard on her campaign.  There's a lot to it.  She had

to get 50-100 signatures on a petition from her peers before she could run.  She also

had to write a platform speech, get a recommendation from each of her teachers,

maintain a good GPA (which is easy because she never stops studying!),

make posters, and come up with a campaign.  

She's such a go-getter.  She did every bit of the campaign herself.

The only thing I helped her with was her posters.  We finished it all up tonight because

she has to hang to posters on Monday morning and then the voting is next Friday

for the Primary Elections.  Then there will be 2 people picked for each position -

2 for Jr. Class President (which Talbie is running for)

and 2 for Jr. Class Vice President.

After the final election, there will be 2 winners and then they will choose 2

cabinet members from the candidates who ran.  That's a total of 4 positions for the 

entire Jr. class.  It's stiff competition!

Talbie has been one of 4 Sophomores on the council this year.  It's so nerve-wracking

for a parent when your child tries out for something.  I think we get more nervous than they do!

I remember Maddie's 9th grade year when she tried out for the
Orem High School Dance Company!  I was a nervous wreck during

her entire 4 hour audition.  I was on the verge of throwing up the entire time!

I think I was more excited when she made it, than she was!

Here are the posters and campaign we came up with...

For the hand out - she's giving out sticky, furry mustaches...

 The slogan is "Make the Mature Choice - Vote Talbie Knowles for Jr. Class President!"

Here are the posters...

 

Isn't this a funny picture?  This really represents Talbie's personality.

She is not embarrassed to perform or be silly.  I think that is such a unique quality!

 

Another great poster...

  

This one she will hang over the drinking fountain...

 She can make buttons at school and these are the ones she will make...

Neither Talbie nor I are very artistic - especially when it comes to making posters!
We did out best :)
We'll keep you posted on how it turns out...
