Student Councilors To Start Counseling Students

As we are well under wraps of the fist half-quater of the year and now that everyone is nice and settled, it only seems appropriate that we begin to assemble our beloved and very own student council once again. SCOV (Student Council Of Vanguard) was started last year as a means for our very own students to voice their own opinions in addressing problems and matters regarding our school and day-to-day happenings right here at Vanguard.

Our dearest Ms. McCann is the head honcho in charge of this ordeal and has already began to plan the first meetings.

"At times I seem to miss some of the norms of big schools like pep rallies and all the different clubs and things like that. Putting together activities like this is a lot of fun for me because it's not necessarily part of my job, but is something I do on the side that helps students voice there opinions and be a part of something bigger," vigorously admitted Ms. McCann.

But most people ponder, who exactly is part of the council this year and how did they get on there? Team leaders elected one student representative each from their teams, by means entirely up to teachers, either by having their teams vote, choosing from a selection of students who volunteered, or just picking someone they deemed worthy of the responsibility. In total 10 students have been opted as members of SCOV and the results are in.

Team Thunder - TBA

Team McCann - George Cervantes 

Team O'Neill - Nick Glatczack 

Team Heldmann - Shae Anders 

Team DeMeo - Francisco Lopez 

Team Koralik - Jacky Caldera 

Team Koz - Pete Miller 

Team Garcia - Emily Casey 

Team Medina-Perez - Collin Bauer

Team Kain - Ester Juarez

I had the chance to sit down with a few SCOV members and they shared their thoughts on what it means to them.

"It's really a privilege to be on SCOV. I'm super excited and I'm really hoping to help bring many  great changes to Vanguard," proudly pronounced George Cervantes.

"SCOV is a responsibility that encourages both students and teachers to form new ideas and take the initiative to bring a brighter future to Vanguard," said Jacky Caldera.

Of course SCOV is nothing without its veterans.

"SCOV is awesome because we contribute a lot and get stuff done. We're always listening to what students have to say and often we anonymously fulfill people's wishes and concerns. We certainly take a lot of weight Ms. Marsh's shoulders," rendered Emily Casey. This year being her second in SCOV.

SCOV's first meeting is tomorrow. They hope to meet weekly, according to speculation from various anonymous* sources.

All signs point to another great year for our student council.
