My school (granted this is 15 years ago now) the student council winners were always the jocks and popular kids.  Geeks never stood a chance.  So I go with the be popular answer.

Online or by talking to the councilor at your school.

have a pyjama day, the kids pay a pound to come in dressed in their pj's, it will be fun for them and you will raise a fair bit of money!!  \n\nalso do you know anyone that can do face painting that could come in and do a few hours of that, kids love having their faces painted.\n\nfor the older classes you could get them to do a sponsored silence. this is one the teachers will love :-)\n\nyou could organise a bake sale during break time chocolate rice crispy cakes are cheap to make and kids love them.\n\nall of these can be done on the same day. it could be the start of an annual fun day so that you are guaranteed to have funds for next years party too.\n\n\n\n\n\ngood luck

Here are a few:\n\nVote for Cindy as class secretary!  Why?  Because it's the smart thing to do, of course!\n\nYou can always use commercial slogans and integrate them with your own:\n\nVote for Cindy as class secretary.  JUST DO IT!\n\nGot Cindy?   (vote for her as class secretary)\n\nCindy for secretary.  She's got the right stuff!\n\n(I've seen this one around here, a local girl used it)  Victoria's REAL Secret?  She's voting for Cindy as class secretary!\n\nGood luck. :)

Best thing you can do is listen to what the students have to tell you.  I am sure you will get some information that is not pertinent, but you will get some important information/requests from some students.  Then, take the information or requests to the appropriate staff members and try to get it all worked out.  Good Luck.

Vote for politicians. They seem to have a good chance of winning anyway.

Make a calendar of all the hot babes & hunks (in whatever poses you think will sell) in your school and sell them to the population.(2 calendars, one babe, one hunk) While this is going on, you now sell raffle tickets whose first prize(s) is a dinner/disco date with any one of the calendar models. If a calendar is not feasible since it is April, then maybe produce a colored magazine of them instead. Who knows, you may be able to sell the magazine off campus and make bigger bucks. Be sure to include the reason you are raising funds. Show pictures of orphans and a sample school buiding for maximum impact.\n\nIf ever you find my suggestion noteworthy, could you send me a copy of the magazine?

High School positions are pretty easy.  The VP doesn't do much.  LOL  Just get the position and your student council advisor will explain what is expected of you.\n\nBest Wishes on the Election!\n\nSue

Be unique and let your writing speak for itself. Write a paper giving your opinion on a controversial matter or a hot topic in your school or community. Then either hang it up or pass it out at your school - campaigning with something like "Vote for me - School Journalist" or something similar to that.  Good Luck.

We currently have a dysfunctional school board that spends all of its time arguing with and dissing other members of the board.  Last fall, a major school bond issue failed, because voters have no trust in the board.  We have recently gotten a new superintendent and I hope that he will be able to turn things around.

...Ummm, you should do one that contains words or phrases that relate to you and your position. Like the slogan should include your name and the position you run for. For example, "Grace"...Vote for Grace, so she can win the race. Vote for me, Billy Lee, for vp.(vice president)\n\nUmmm, if your name is Ash- from your screename, you can do like...Vote for ash to get some cash! (Nah, one would break that promise- Vote for Ash to bring the school and you some cash) ...How you make slogans, try using some rhyme in it.

I COMPLETELY agree.  I've been pretty lucky.  I know exactly how my local government works, and I have participated actively.  If more students were exposed at a younger age to the basic structure of their hometown government, I think there would be more people to make positive changes the right way.

This may be too juvenile but have you or a student get up and walk to the center of the room. Hold out both arms. On one arm, say something general like. "I like to draw" and on the other, say "I enjoy the show 24" Then, have the students who 'agree' with those link to the corresponding arms, then they do the same thing with their arms, and then you keep going until everyone in the room is linked.\nIt's corny, but I did it at a high school leadership conference with kids from all around and we enjoyed it.\n\nAlso, you can set two equal rows of chairs facing each other, then have students sit in both rows. Have the students sitting across from each other get to know one another (exchange name, hometown, school, interests, etc..) then after about a minute, have one row shift, where everyone moves down a seat (and the last person goes around to the first empty seat, of course), and keep doing that until everyone in that row has sat in every seat in that row. It's similar to speed dating, and you usually don't remember much, but it's a good way to get people talking and make the atmosphere less uncomfortable.\n\nAlso, what really worked in my english class is to conduct class in a circle (if possible), that way, no one is really, in the back or can separate themselves from the group. You can lead discussions as the teacher in the middle.\n\nYou can also do an interest based version of musical chairs. Make sure there is one less chair for everyone in the room, then you or a volunteer (that isn't sitting in that extra chair) get up and state a interest you have like "I watched every minute of the NCAA march madness games" then everyone who agrees has to get up and change seats until that one person is left in the middle and they start the process again.\n\nOr you give everyone a small slip of paper. Tell them to write two things on the paper about themselves that are true and one that is not. Then you collect the papers, and you go through each one  with the class and they try to guess which is the lie. Then the person who wrote it can verify.

This is one that I did in my High School and I think that it went off really well.  It was a battle of the bands aka BOB we first went around to different recording studios in the area to find a place that would offer so type of prize to the winners, if you can't do that go around to places like wal mart or target and ask if they will donate to your school for the event and normally they will go and find something to donate or even give you a gift card to find something for the event, but they do ask you most of the time that you find a prize if they do that and they want you to use up the gift card.  At the same time that someone is doing that someone else is calling other high schools in the area and talking to the student council or some other student leadership group, to see if any of the other schools would like to join in to the battle of the bands, at my school we set a limit to three bands from each school and that included ours.  Now at my school we charged an entrance fee of $2 a person you can charge more or less just go to the students first to see if anyone is willing to pay that price to see it.  and if you want to make it a competition get some impartial judges to do the judging ex. if you do get a recording studio to donate some recording time you might want to ask the owner to come and to be one of the judges for the event you could even ask some of the teachers if they would be interested in doing that but also try and get some of the students from the schools that you invite could be the student body pres. or just some random student in the hall if you get one student from one school you need to get one from them all so that it is fair.  also have them judge on a number of things and not just how good they sound like did their instruments overpower the vocals, how well did they sing/play, etc.\n\nIf you do something like that it may seem like a lot of work but it is tons of fun.\n\nGood Luck!!

For me, i think that to get many votes you should just be overall nice with the other students. It also helps if everyone knows who you are, so you should join in plenty of activities so a lot of people will know you. HOPE THIS HELPS! GOOD LUCK IF YOUR RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!! IT TAKES ALOT OF GUTS!

Funny and shorter is a winning combination. Get your humor in at the beginning. Have some real substance in the middle. You won't change life as we know it. Focus on one or two things: More dances, better DJs. You  will listen more to them (the student body).    Be self deprecating, but not too much. Skits are over done as is rap singing your message. Be sincere in your message. Everyone will already know you by now, so just be yourself. Don't over reach. Leave the audience with a gentle zinger (humor), but don't obscure the reason for voting for you. "You are the one who will listen and implement change." I teach high school.
