Today’s Quotation: “Your only treasures are those which you carry in your heart.” Written by Demophilus
Today is Student Government 2015 Election Day. Yesterday, several candidates shared their speeches. Today
we have one more candidate to share her speech. Anh Nguyen who is a candidate for president. O.k. Anh,
share your speech.
Anh : Hi! I'm Anh and I'm running for SGA president of 2015-2016. Sligo, you should vote for me because I do have what it takes to become
your SGA president. I do have some experience because I was SGA vice president last year ! Do you remember last year's winter dance ?
Everyone had such a splendid time. The dance was very well organized and everyone had a fun time ! I can make your winter dance epic this
year. The SGA will also figure out a way to get the photo booth for the winter dance. Not only that, but I can organize competitions related
to sports in the gym such as volleyball, soccer, baseball, and more. Last year, there was a showdown between Sligo and other schools! As a
team, we can all work together to make this year a fun yet a safe and learning environment! Get on with Anh!
Thanks Anh! We wish you and every candidate the very best. And now,
