I enjoyed helping to form [student relations/incentive programs] because, as an eighth-grader in her last year at Channing Hall, my aim on Student Council was to leave a lasting legacy that benefited the school.

I am delighted to have been able to improve student interactions between grades, and also to set guidelines and a legacy for the next generation. Our ideals in student council are inspired by IB values, such as eco-friendly activities and anti-bullying week. I will leave knowing that cooperation is imperative in any community.
