Leonard Elementary School students in 3rd through 5th grade participated in the 2020-2021 Student Council Election, last Friday. Their voices were heard as they expressed their choice in leadership.
According to Student Council Advisors Chelsea Schlak and Jen Coggins, Student Council candidates spent the week campaigning by hanging posters throughout the school and participating in learning activities within their 5th grade classrooms. Each candidate recorded a speech sharing their ideas and qualifications for their role. Being that our country is currently in an election year, it was important to immerse students in the process at a local community level. 

“We are proud of those students who were risk-takers and decided to participate in our election,” said Coggins.
The Presidential candidates included Dominic LoCascio, Jordyn Giuliani, Lilly Elsarelli, and Brooklyn Wasylyk. The Vice Presidential candidates were Drake Mathie, Kendra Shore, Lelynn Slanec, and Emma Stuter.
The winners were announced at the end of the school day. President is Jordyn Giulinai and Vice President is Lelynn Slanec.
