Madam President

Sydney decided to run for student council president. She had a group of her friends and Abby's friends come over one day last week after school. They spent 2 hours making 200 of those little "warm fuzzies". (a pompom with feet and googly eyes) They put a little message tag on each one that said "Vote for Sydney W. for President".



















The day before the speeches her "campaign crew" handed out the warm fuzzies. Sydney fussed and fretted about her speech. She was worried about being honest because previous presidents won by promising impossible things like saying that they would make the cafeteria food better. I think that she did a really good job. Here is her speech:




She won. The thing that impressed me the most was that she cam home and said "mom I won, but I don't feel really happy because Amy lost and feels bad." We had a nice chat about winning and losing and she decided that she would feel better if she baked Amy some cookies and wrote her a nice note about the things Sydney thought she did well. The cookies worked, Amy is happy and is the class representative, and Sydney has a new friend. I love it when the easy answers work.
