What's the secret to winning a high school election?

Although popularity may have a lot to do with it, I won my class election in junior high and became president, and I was not popular at all.  The key is to be nice to everyone and to not make any enemies.  I'm nice to pretty much everyone and have never been in a fight my whole life.  Just try applying "treat others the way you want to be treated," to your life.  It may sound a little elementary-ish, but that kind of attitude will get you far!  Good luck in your elections and you have my vote!  lol! : )

Talk to them about how about the challenges of being true to yourself, being a real person, an individual...and all the pressures throughout high school to conform to the expectations of peer groups...

Honestly, it doesn't matter what you write. It's how popular you are before the election that will win the vote. Especially in middle school. Do you really think 12-13-14 year olds care about the state of the school?? Mark my words. Sorry sad but true. By the way I'd love to hear the outcome of the vote. Would you post it on your question when its over??

Food. Offer breakfast or something to have students meet their mentor over breakfast. Then have them pair up and do a scavenger hunt around the school (the first team to find all of the locations wins something). Make it a competetion and offer food...that always seems to get my students into it.

you need ideas that will bring results, from reading your statement, you are in doubts about your purpose. \n\nthink of some ideas that produce benefits and advances for the student to believe in you, to make them want to see you get elected..\n\ndo a poll or survey to get what issue needed to be discuss, clarify and deliver, find activities that will encourage others to participate and help you campaign for your desire position. you need to be positive and request feedback on what is the most important subject need to focus on..\n\nbe able or ready to help student who may have questions regarding financial grant, find, research and learn the basic to assist them, canvas other book stores for good discounts on school books, organize with friends who are willing to tutor others who required assistance in their schooling, form a volunteer club that will visit and help unfortunate (for couple of hours during breaks or weekend) like the orphanage, elders, sick. promote well awareness regarding health for students, establish a charity (non-profit organization) to support homeless, handicapped, hospital and do some fund raising like collecting cans, canned good to deliver to homeless, garage sale, car wash, raffle ticket..\n\nthere are lots of ideas that may able to assist you win the bid if you show you care, mean it and act on it....\n\ngood luck and hope you well...

the main thing and most important thing you need to do is BE YOURSELF...that way you'll find people that are more like YOU and have way more fun with them then people that aren't.  And to let you in on a little secret...probably about 90% of the people you go to high school with...you'll never see again, except for like at reunions and stuff...so make sure you pick the friends that accept you for you and the ones you'd want around more. =)

...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.

Put it into perspective -- who actually votes for these "awards"?\n\nP.S. Remember - you've already won some. And you'll continue to grow and "win" all sorts of wonderful things by simply living your life to the fullest. High School is just the beginning. You are NOT a loser!!!

LOOK at the camera and smile.  Don't be stiff.  It's a popularity contest, so you have to act cool.  Tell how much you love the school and "if I am elected, I will listen to what YOU have to say...."  Then say, "you can play the popularity contest if you want, and vote for the popular person, but if you want to actually get something done, vote for me, ciaobella_88.

It depends on how much work you put into it. Public school can, in fact, be really hard if you take Advanced Placement Classes, but it's worth it if you're up for a challenge. As for the rumors about the way freshmen are treated badly, those are pretty much false. Get involved. Join clubs to meet new people, go out for a sports team, or join the band. That way you'll meet kids with interests similar to yours, and you'll make friends quickly. The more you get involved, the more fun you'll have. High school can be a blast if you put effort into it!

Talk to the high school itself. Usually the assistance comes from the church or from a parents' organization. Not all high schools have such assistance available. Talk to the school admissions office.

Your ultimate goal is to become an integral part of the student community.  Recognize your strengths - you can bring together different teens / students from different schools. Identify the closest local schools and, wherever possible, create friendly competitions through cafe that are win-win for your sales and the students - be it marketing plans, food receipes, etc between different schools(see more detailed ideas below).  Moreover, your cafe can act as a place where students can experiment going from a student artist/musician/author to being a professional one. Some ideas:\n\n- Get student bands to play there, battle of the bands/schools. Coordinate with school music departments and leading student bands. \n\n- Have student art on display, for sale, and have different artist showings. Help the students advertise and have them draw in their own customers.  Coordinate with art departments.  \n\n- Consider giving out iTunes gift cards on special occasions.\n\n- Hold pre/post-athletic game/event specials like giving a free drink to the most valuable person of the game/event. End of the season celebrations. Work with cheer squads.\n\n- Get the captains of the teams, students leaders, etc to be cafe representatives (give out coupons on campus and get free coffee in return).\n\n- Advertise in the student newspapers AND subscribe so you have them available at the cafe.\n\n- Work with foods department to feature student receipes, concoctions etc on a weekly basis.\n\n- Have free wireless access (students can study there with their laptops).\n\n- Hiring students from the school to work there (they will always have friends stop by).\n\n- Work with their business classes to have an annual marketing campaign competition.  The successful ones get a cut of the boost in profits (or iTunes gift cards or something valuable) and their name on a plaque in the store.  Have them do your work for you - they want experience.\n\n- Have a strong feedback mechanism from teens/students about what the next big thing is because their scene is in constant flux.  \n\n- Have a website with an events calendar that students can easily request to schedule events to for their organizations, club meetings, etc.  Explain how it works so they understand.  Have coupons on it that change.  Make it a student source.  Have a presence on myspace for the cafe or some other online community stuff.\n\n- As it becomes more profitable, create an annual scholarship fund of $500 or more (book costs for a semester but always helpful and deductable) that you award to a senior for their commitment to community development or something like that resonates with the image your cafe is committed to.  If possible, have students vote on this.  They love to gossip and vote on people.\n\n- This may sound like a joke, but seriously, have networked X-boxs (locked up) for halo and halo tournaments or other such networked games on some big screens. Again, use competition to your advantage.  \n\nFor my last two cents, if you make the cafe a student resource center rather than just a point of sale, the sales will follow.  Best of luck.

Watch the movie Election.  I'm sure the mechanism will vary with the school.  One idea I always wanted to do long long long ago when I was a student.......have a make out booth with your pamphlets.

Just be yourself, and follow the Golden Rule.  Middle and High School can be a tough time of life.  Just remember that in twenty years, no one will care who was the most popular student in homeroom.
