2. Outside of school, my friends would describe me as . . .
My friends often tell me that I am Easygoing, Enthusiastic, Funny, and a Planner.
3. If you had to create a campaign slogan, what would it be?
"Mary and Kendall are the names, running for President and Vice-President is the Game "
4. What do you believe are the qualities of a good leader?
I think that there are many qualities that make a good leader. Leaders need to be able to put their opinions and ideas out there for people to hear and at the same time hear the views of the rest of the school. then take all those ideas and use them to better the school environment and experience for everyone. A leader also needs to be dependable. they must be able to get things done(while still having fun of course). If a leader can't focus enough to get thins done, then the positive changes will never happen. Lastly, a leader must be determined. They have to want to make those changes to make PR a nicer place. A determined leader inspires the ones around them, sparking a fire that brings new ideas and plans to make Prairie Ridge the best place it could be.
5. Describe, in detail, one idea/activity that you feel would promote School Spirit/Unity at Prairie Ridge.
I think one thing that would bring Prairie Ridge closer together would be to make traditions. Do fun things like a field day or even themes for football games that become an event that happens every year. I think that would be a great way to make Prairie Ridge more like one school instead of a large group of people. To have people get excited for Field Day for example would bring people together with a common interest. Prairie Ridge needs to develop tradition.
