Gotham Avenue School Celebrates Student Voices in Annual Student Government Elections

This November, the excitement was palpable as Gotham Avenue School students eagerly took part in the annual Student Government elections, diving headfirst into the democratic process with enthusiasm and energy.

Eleven passionate candidates ran for various leadership positions, each determined to make a positive mark on the school. Campaign posters, bursting with color and creativity, lined the hallways, transforming the school into a vibrant campaign headquarters.

The candidates worked tirelessly, crafting powerful speeches to share their visions for the future. When Election Day at Gotham arrived, students took to the stage with poise and passion, delivering speeches that were both inspiring and persuasive. From proposals for new school events to initiatives focused on improving student life, the speeches showcased the diversity of ideas and the leadership potential within the student body.

"Each candidate demonstrated impressive public speaking skills and a deep commitment to serving their peers,” Assistant Principal Sonia Rodrigo said.

The energy in the gymnasium was electric as students from grades 4-6 gathered to cheer on their peers and listen attentively to each speech. The younger scholars joined in the excitement via Zoom, connecting the entire school in a shared spirit of camaraderie.

After the votes were counted, the school announced that the new Student Government representatives are President Arabella Singh, Vice President/Treasurer Tiana Gordon and Secretary/Historian Ravina Tulsi. The elected students will be guided and assisted by advisers Lindsey Bassetta and Dana McGruder.
