Speech Talking Points

  • I’m Joe
  • I’m new to woods this year but I’m certainly not new to the close community aspect of woods
  • My old school...Montessori was very similar in that we had everyone talking to one another regardless how old they were…we had very small classes around 10 - 15 people in each grade, and most importantly everyone knew everyone.
  • I went to that same school for 10 years, I knew every student, every teacher, and almost everything about the school. And I’d have to say I was a very big part of that school. So what I’m saying is I’ve been in an intimate community like woods. I know how to care for and be apart of a school that has the same values of woods.
  • And I promise to help preserve the qualities of woods that make it such a unique school. Because I don’t want to lose the closeness that we share just because woods has more people this year, and that we’re a more formal looking school. I want to provide more opportunities for everyone to meet and introduce themselves to everyone they haven’t met yet.
  • And I will encourage students to confront me if they have an issue or comment that they feel should be addressed.
  • Our school is going through a lot of changes this year, and when I’m elected class rep I promise to help maintain the qualities of our school that long time students and newcomers like myself have grown to love.

Thank You
