Aidan McCarthy along with the Triangle Party have many ideas. Here are some of those ideas:
We will empower student voices by hosting interactive school forums. What is an interactive forum though? An interactive forum is basically any message board, chat room, or similar interactive services. We want to build a thriving school community and by empowering voices, we believe we can achieve this goal. We will use social media to build buzz while also leveraging traditional outreach like word of mouth and school announcements. We want to build community within our school and leave a lasting impact while also allowing for inclusive participation.
School Events: We plan to host many events throughout the school year as the possibilities are endless. We most likely will not be hosting student council fundraising that often and instead we will rely on other fundraising techniques that don't involve taking money from students to participate in activities or harassing parents to buy something. We plan on to bring in cool speakers that students will love to listen to and create fun afterschool events.
Wellness Initiatives: The well-being of others around us is important and we believe that it is a good idea to spread awareness and support others. We have many ideas such as implementing mental health awareness campaigns, organizing a fitness challenge, creating a peer mentoring program for students needing support.
Feedback and Improvement Initiatives: We plan to conduct surveys to gather student input on school policies and programs that we implement as well as stuff that the school decides to do. Additionally, we plan to organize forums where students can voice their opinions and suggestions. Furthermore, we plan to attend school board meetings and voice your opinions so that you don't have to! We will also keep you informed on anything the school board does if you would like to stay involved.
Feminine hygiene products/menstrual product We believe that school shouldn't be a place of fear, embarrassment, or worry. We believe that school should be a stress free environment and an environment where everyone feels like they can learn without worry. We along with student feedback have decided that provide feminine hygiene products should be provided in every bathrooms. We will make the proposal and if that doesn't work out, we will simply get donations from parents or pay out of pocket, but we will make this happen.
High School Student Discounts: We plan to provide high school student discounts, quite similar to college student unions. We plan to provide discounts on streaming services, entertainment, and more. We also for students to get discounts at local stores within our community. This will help support local small businesses while also keeping you entertained at little expense.
As Vice President, Aidan McCarthy will ensure that effective communication is being provided between students and class representatives and school administrators. TPC¹ members if elected, will always be available to talk about issues and address concerns that students have. We believe in the philosophy that understanding the people we represent is important for effective teamwork and communication. Maintaining relevance and conciseness in our communication is also very important to us and we will listen and present your ideas in a systematic way that allows for effective communication.
We will make for effective communication between class officers by implementing strong techniques to clearly get our point across. We will ensure clarify and make an impactful statement on your behalf. We will take time to ensure that each point we present has been strongly laid out, so your voice is heard over all the noise.
