This is Skins' campaign poster for her school's student council elections. Can you tell it's a sky, complete with white, puffy clouds? She was playing off her name and tying it into her slogan, "The Sky's the Limit"... whaddyathink?
She had to videotape her campaign speech, which will be played to all the seventh graders on Thursday. Elections are on Friday.
She told me that 16 people are in the running, but only 2 spots will get filled. Those aren't huge odds, but she's not letting that get her down. She's very optimisting especially after hearing some girls she didn't know comment on her poster hanging in the hall. They said, "This is totally the best poster up here!" That gave her a boost for sure!
Win or lose I'm so proud of her for even going this far... but I hope she does win. I think it will open up a lot of doors to her and give her a more positive experience in junior high. Seventh grade is the best place to do something like this since the cliques and popularity heirarchy really haven't been established yet. Best to get in on the ground floor.
I know that come Friday I'll be waiting anxiously with baited breath....

You'll have to let us all know how it went. I ran for student government when I was in 5th grade... Won class president, lost school. Oh well. I would make a lousy politician anyway!
