"Hello Principal, staff, lovely teachers, and fellow scholars, 

               I am very happy to read my manifesto to you. I think I would be a good president because I have good leadership qualities. I show kindness everywhere I go. I also think I will be a good president because I am an active listener. For instance, when someone is talking, I show respect when they are speaking. I think a lot of kids are not understood. As president I will make sure no one feels left out and everyone feels involved. A big problem I noticed is that some students are being bullied. I will make sure everyone feels safe and happy by talking to students so, they don't feel the alone. I will put together a prize box of different sports equipment because I know a lot of kids really like sports and since some of them don't have the opportunity to get a ball at home, I want to provide them with that. I will make sure the school is moving forward and always swimming towards the core of success. Another thing I will do as president is listen to the concerns of students so, they have a voice in the school. It is important that the staff know what student needs and feels, so we can all swim to the core of success. I will also make sure that kids don’t feel like they are just learning by allowing students to use technology during lessons. Students should be having fun in school, so everyone loves learning. I will be a very professional president. Another thing I will do as president with the help of the principal and custodial staff is fix the bathrooms because, sometimes I go to the bathroom and I see toilet paper, paper towels everywhere and the toilets are not flushed, so I advise all scholars to please keep the bathrooms clean, so we have a sanitary and healthy bathroom. These are the reasons I think you should vote for me as the president of P.S. 197."
