This girl!
I'm so proud of our Rylie Grace. At MIS, 6th graders are allowed to run for Student Council by preparing a short speech and delivering it to their homeroom class. The classes vote and then out of the five that are chosen, then the officers are decided among the council.
As strong of a personality Rylie has at home and with her close friends, she tends to shy away from public attention. She really struggled with having to give a speech and then it even brought her to tears the night before thinking of the many boys (I think there's 17) in her class and the several really mean ones that even make fun of the teacher aloud. She was worried that they were going to do the same to her. I did make a call to Charity (her assoc principal) and told her about the situation. She stepped in the room during speeches and everything went well! She delivered her speech and was voted to be on Student Council!
Then was voted to be the Treasurer after that!
I am so proud of her for facing her fears and continuing through with what she really wanted!
