Can Students Set an Example of Democracy?
Our school recently held elections to vote for the members of the High school Student Council; students eagerly cast their votes in order to select their representatives.
The electoral campaign was carried out with respect and responsibility. The candidates tried to obtain votes through different means of propaganda and the culmination of the campaign was the famous speeches that traditionally close the electoral run. The public listened carefully and, according to some analysts, these were well-structured and praise worthy, reflecting Dowal's student body degree of democratic maturity.
The elections were held on Friday October 9th with massive student participation. The members of the ballot reception committees fulfilled their duty in a responsible manner, ensuring the transparency of the process. The proceedings were observed by two representatives of the Parents Society, Mrs. Leticia Castillo and Mrs. Selma Kammerbauer.
The High School Student Council was elected as follows:
President Saskia Banegas
Vice president Elena Casco
Secretary Isaías Aguilar
Treasure María Alejandra Panameño
Secretary of Activities Teresa María López
Secretary of Sports Luís Francisco Lavaire
Class President
7th A Fernando Durón
7th B Héctor Castillo
8th A María Fernanda Duque
8th B Andrea Mejía
9th A Madeleyne Gallardo
10th A Keren López
10th B María Fernanda Carranza
11th A Ethel Ilías Simón
11th B Simón Hernández Kirby
On Monday, October 12th, our principal, Miss Ligia Aguilar, bestowed the Presidential Distinctive upon Miss Saskia Banegas who, in turn, swore in the rest of the Student Council members and the class presidents. After the Inauguration Ceremony, the representatives of the Parents Society offered a breakfast to honor the elected students, that was shared with school's authorities
