The Bridgewater-Raritan High School Student Council received three awards during the New Jersey Association of Student Council’s Winter Convention on Wednesday, January 8, at The College of New Jersey in Ewing.
Bridgewater-Raritan’s Student Council received the Honor School and the Top 10 Projects while the club’s advisors, Sarah Cleary and Michele Mammone, won the Advisor Years of Service award, which recognized them for their five years of student council service as members of NJASC.
Ms. Cleary and Ms. Mammone reported on the events held during the convention.
“There was also a Keynote speaker, Carlos Ojeda Jr., from CoolSpeak: The Youth EngagementCompany where the students learned to “not fight forward, fight back,” they said.
Ms. Cleary and Ms Mammone also shared about one of the Bridgewater-Raritan students and other activities during the day..
“One of our members, Colin Hawley, ran for State office as an Executive Board member where he had to campaign and give a two-minute speech in front of an audience of 1700 NJASC members. The students attended a workshop called “How to Build a Holiday Market,” which the Student Council is enthusiastic about bringing to Bridgewater-Raritan High School next year.”
The two Bridgewater-Raritan advisors also revealed that “The Student Council also signed up to present a workshop entitled “Pep Rally from Start to Finish” where some advisors and about twenty council members from other schools attended.”
“The student council members and their advisors enjoyed their experience throughout the day.”
