📣Meet the GRHS Student Council Candidates📣 James Tullis – Running for Student Council President I am a proud member of the Bowling, One Act and Quiz Bowl teams. I also participate in the band and spring play. Outside of school, I am currently working at the After School Program. I feel that I have a great work ethic and I am responsible in my school work. I feel that these strengths will help me to make GRHS a better place to go to school. I can finish whatever job that needs to be done and do it with all of my effort. I also always try to help others that need anything. However, sometimes I can procrastinate a little, but I always manage to get things done and be where I am needed. I am prepared to take on the responsibilities of Student Council President and will represent the student body well. I have been a representative on Student Council for various groups in the past. Being a member of Student Council and working at the After School Program has given me a great model of what it means to be a leader. I’m very open minded when it comes to ideas, so I’ll definitely listen to what anyone has to say. I’ll explain why I feel an idea is best, but if someone still doesn’t agree then we can form a compromise to express both ideas. The most important change to GRHS to me would be to raise school spirit and help all students feel like they belong and have a place in our school. I believe our pep rallies can be better to include more people. Overall, school spirit needs to be better. Amara Funk – Running for Student Council Vice President I am a member of One Acts, Quiz Bowl and Cheerleading. I also was a part of the Spring Play cast and was chosen to represent GRHS in Honor Choirs. My greatest strength is that I really don’t like procrastination and I always get my work done on time or early. That should help me organize all the Student Council events and make sure everything is done on time. I do however like to talk, and that will get me a little distracted if I let it. I have been cheer captain and I believe that my positive attitude has allowed me to show that I am good in tough positions and good at making decisions. When listening to others, I feel that I am really good at listening. If I degree, I will disagree with kindness and if I agree, I agree happily. I love to be kind and I don’t feel good in a day if I have not been able to do something nice for someone. Sometimes it might be picking something up for someone or simply cheering someone up, whatever it is, I always enjoy doing it. I believe my bubbly, outgoing spirit will help me speak for the extra curriculars I am involved in. I also have great connections through the entire school because of all the activities I am involved with. I truly believe that James and I can make a difference in our school. We can positively represent out school and I feel like we can accurately represent the entire student body. #UnitedAsOne #StrongerTogether
