The new ASB officers are in place for this year, and for the first time in years, the voting system has been changed. The candidates no longer try out for a specific position, but instead choose their position depending on how many votes they received. So, the person with the most votes will get first pick and so on.

Towards the end of August, ASB students appeared on RPTV and broadcasted live speeches telling all of Rancho Pico, why they should vote for them to be in the executive council. After the speeches were given by the 8 candidates, students anxiously cast their top four votes for who they felt were best fit to represent our school. The results: Abby Walters for treasurer, Grace Waterman is the new secretary, Sophia Kriegel is the vice president, and David Salven is the ASB president for this year. These four students are on their way to lead Rancho Pico into a fun, successful school year.

“I am very excited. Everyone’s voice will be heard through ASB and it’s going to be a great year! Thank you for voting for me,” says ASB president, David Salven.

“I am excited to be vice president because I want to make school a more fun and enjoyable place to come to and I want to make sure everyone’s seventh and eighth grade year is as special as can be,” says Sophia Kriegel, the new vice president.

“I’m happy to have a leadership position in ASB, so that everyone can look up to me, and help develop everyone and myself,” say secretary, Grace Waterman.

“I’m very excited to make this year successful. Whether it is your first or last year at Rancho Pico, I want to make it a success,” says Abby Walters, the new treasurer.

Representing your school takes a lot of courage and hard work, which these students are committed to doing.

“The student body picked great candidates. All eight candidates were really good, they are all very organized and friendly, and they have a good grasp of ASB from being in here last year, so I know they are going to do a great job this year.

Congratulations to the new ASB executive council! We wish the best to our new officers as they assume the command of their roles.
