Maddie's Class Rep Speech


Maddie was class rep in 3rd grade, postmaster last year and was nominated for the class rep position again this year. On her own, she started working on her speech.
She did not take my suggestions to disparage her competition using innuendo like,
"I'm not saying that my competition hates puppies punches babies, but do you really want to take that risk in voting for her? I love puppies and babies!"


Here's what she came up with all on her own:
As you all know, I'm Maddie Kurt and I am running for Mrs. Hares Class Representative. The qualities I have that would make me a good class representative would be that I am responsible. I would make sure that I wrote down everything we talked about and will make sure all the information gets to you.

Another quality have is that I have had experience. I was a Class Representative in Third Grade. I know what to do and I will be able to get the hang of things a bit quicker. I promise I will be at the meetings on time and ask for YOUR input. i will ask for any ideas you have or I think are good ideas. For example I could ask for a divide yourself in half day, where you could divide yourself in half with mismatching clothes down the middle, at the waist , Or Both! Or maybe we could come up with fun fundraisers for Active Faith or different charities. Also I could ask if maybe at lunch we could ask for a pizza party where a pizza place comes in and we could have pizza! This one is a long shot but maybe we could have a movie/video game one night after school. We could maybe have a day where we could do crafts at recess or bring our dolls or stuffed animals out to recess.

The last trait I have that would make me a good Class Representative is I love to help people. I want to help the people and the school to be more fun. Remember, vote for Maddie Kurt and I will keep all these promises I made in this speech.
