Samuel Clements

I want to be Student Body President so I can scream from the top of my lungs how great it is to be a Cottonwood Colt. I want to make events better attended and for all students to feel like they are seen. I want everyone to have a voice and contribute to the overall success of Cottonwood. I would love to promote every club and every win from the Debate team to the Basketball team. I want to highlight all of our strengths that are often unknown to the community inside and outside of Cottonwood. I am friendly, outgoing and not afraid to work hard. I am a team player and always want everyone to be included. I am always looking for the bright side of things and I always want to cheer people on to be the best version of themselves. I am excited to get to work.

I am running for President because I want to lead cottonwood in a better direction then it is now, cause I see the way people treat others who are different from them. I am on the football and track team so I know the importance of teamwork and communication. I plan to represent cottonwood as a positive friend and leader to everyone, not just my sports teams and friends.

I hope to use my position to spread positivity and inclusivity throughout the school. I believe I am qualified to be SBO artist because of all my experience in art ranging from near-daily practice to finished art commissions. I plan to represent cottonwood via my actions, helping where I can and overall being kind and accepting of all.

I am running for SBO artist for two main reasons; my love for art and my love for Cottonwood. I have always seen art as a universal language, meaning that everyone understands art no matter their background. This is why I'm planning on using art to unite every colt in Cottonwood closer together. I am qualified to do this because I have past student government experience as well as past art experience. Plus I am always willing to go the extra mile to get things done, I listen to people who need to be heard, and am open to new ideas.

My mom is the president of Stampede so it would be easier to collaborate and plan events to make them even better, fun, and more welcoming to the students who usually don't go to events. I have been in 2 leadership positions in my school and California. I have seen the pros and cons of other schools I have attended so I can have different perspectives.

Yerik Martinez

Hello! My name is Yerik Martinez and I am running for Cottonwood High SBO Associated Student of Cottonwood (ASC). My purpose in office is to create a memorable high school experience for everyone! Especially for my graduating class of 2024. I know saying that my purpose is to create a memorable high school experience is basic, but honestly, it's what everyone wishes for. I want to create a high school environment where we all come together as one and make the best out of it. I want to be that person that is behind all those superb experiences. I want those experiences to be looked back at and they will clearly be remembered as the good ol’ times. I feel like I best qualify for this position because I love planning and organizing events. I believe that my organization skills have improved so much since the time I decided to run for class officer. The current two leadership positions (Cottonwood High Junior Class ASC and Dance Company Choreographer) have helped my organization skills so much. They have shown me that in order for events/movements to run smoothly, everything must be well thought out and arranged the way you vision. Qualifications I hold that would help with this position include: charismatic, confident, kind, creative, integrity, dedicated, passionate, humble, cooperative, flexible (physically and mentally), and inclusive. I carry most of these qualifications in my personality so it’s pretty much a natural state of me. Being an SBO is more than just planning fun activities for your school, it’s about leading your school in a positive direction and representing it as a safe place where you are welcome to be any person you aspire to be. You are helping out your school and the community around you. This is all about passion and what you believe that will help our school and community the best. It’s all about leading and being a positive role model. I want other students to look up to an SBO and want to be like them. They are a big inspiration to our school and that’s why students decided to run. I’m running because I’ve looked up to them as being these individuals that work hard around our school and show lots of support to us students and the community around us. I finally have the chance to become one of them. As an elected candidate, I will do my very best to not let anyone down with what I have to offer. Don’t be generic, vote for Yerik! :)
