The Washington School Student Council
consists of four executive officers, along with thirteen
homeroom representatives. The Council is a good way to
get all students from the fifth grade to the eighth grade
involved in many school activities. This year’s
officers are as followed; Jenny Yun-President, Franchely
Inoa-Vice President, Kelly Balla-Secretary, and Mariefe
Sagun-treasurer. We had the opportunity to interview Washington
Community School’s new President. She says, “It
is an honor to be apart of such a admirable program.”
This whole election process is always nerve wrecking and
tough on the candidates." Even the president was
apprehensive and unsure whether she would get the position,
"I have been anticipating this ever since the 5th.
I wanted to be the president and as soon as I heard Mr.Anastas’
voice on the loudspeaker my heart stopped beating.”
However, good things happen to good people. With all their
hard work and cooperation, these girls deserve these positions.
Many students think that the whole election process was
for them to gain their popularity. This theory is highly
inappropriate. These girls state that they worked day
and night, night and day to make flyers and posters. The
elections may be a popularity contest to some, but when
we questioned Jenny she says, “Personally, I agree
with this theory partially because most students do not
listen to what the candidate has to say. However, people
shouldn’t think just because your friends are in
it you are just doing it for attention because everyone
is eligible and it is a fair competition.” The officers
say that they will try to get more fun and excited fundraisers
and activities. They will do all they can to collect a
lot of money for charity along with other purposes for
the school. This year’s officers along with homeroom
representative will take your breath away.

Getting To Know Mrs. Brown
Patriot Press writers, K. Balla and F. Inoa interviewed
Ms. Brown about her new position as Vice Principal.
Q: How do like the students of this school?
A: “I love you guys! I find everyone here
to be friendly and respectful and I’m telling
you, I wish I came here ten years ago. I mean
that.”
Q: What do like the best about the school?
A: “The kids! When I walk down the hallways
and students say, “Good Morning Ms. Brown,”
it makes my whole day.
Q: What were you goals as a child?
A: “I think I always wanted to be a teacher,
I never really wanted to do anything with sports,
because I was never good at it.”
Q: What activities are you planning this year
for the students?
A: “We’re going to do caught being
good slips, I also want to participate in the
St. Patrick’s parade. I know that the school's
PTO is doing a Halloween dance, and I really want
to go to that. I would be open to any suggestions.”
Q: How do you feel about working as a team with
Mr. Anastas?
A: “Isn’t he the best? When I first
came here, I said, “What do you want me
to do?” and he said, “Well, just watch
and you’ll learn.” I said, “I
don’t want to, I want to help you.”
and he helped me with everything. Whenever I had
a question and I ask him, he answers me right
away.”
Q: What’s the difference between working
here and at the high school?
A: “Well, a lot of the students are different.
The kids are older at the high school, so the
issues are a little different. The hours are different.
(Because she worked at night). We didn’t
have uniforms to worry about. I didn’t have
a lot of interaction with parents; there were
also no activities. We didn’t have student
council or any kind of clubs.”
Q: What are some of the duties of being a vice-
principle?
A: “Some of the duties are making sure everyone
is where they are supposed to be, helping the
teachers when they need help, making sure the
teachers have everything they need to be good
teachers, and to assist if the parents have any
concerns.”
Q: If you could have a super power, what would
it be?
A: “I think I would like to be able to read
people’s minds.”
