After a two-year stint as Student Government head, teacher Christine Bullock has decided to step down. CHS Math teacher Natalie Kaczmarski will be assuming the leadership role of Student Government Sponsor.
“Mrs. Bullock asked me to help with taking over student government because she is super busy. I have big shoes to fill because she is an awesome role model and was a great sponsor first and foremost,” Kaczmarski said.
For those who don’t know, Kaczmarski is a math teacher who always brings a sunny attitude to class. As a positive leader, she is ready to tackle any challenge and lend a helping hand to those in need.
As a sponsor, Kaczmarski is responsible for helping the Student Government Executive team, as well as the senators, make the school the best it can be. To accomplish this goal, she fills out any necessary paperwork, and observes the meetings to ensure they run well.
This school year, the Student Government shared in the responsibilities for Homecoming alongside the new Gold Standard Club, which promotes school clubs and spirit. In turn, Student Government aided the Gold Standard Club by crowning the homecoming court, providing flowers, as well as helping with the voting process.
The Student Government is responsible for hosting a variety of events including the Hall-o-ween trick or treat, appreciation days which honor teachers and veterans, respectively, and the winter dance, among many other activities.
With her past experience serving as the National Junior Honor Society President and National Honor Society President in both middle and high school, Kaczmarski can utilize her knowledge of management to help the CHS Student Government flourish.
“…I was super involved with school stuff and I was in student council in high school as well so I was on the student side of that so now I want to be on the teacher role, which pushed me to take [it],” Kaczmarski said.
Each month, the entire Student Government has meetings. Before the senators gather, there is an executive meeting to prepare for the widespread discussions to be held.
“The most important part of student government is [that] we are the voice behind students. So we meet monthly with Mr. Martinson, and that’s our main focus, [to] address any concerns as the student body. We’re the student voice. That’s the most important thing about my job; making sure that students are prepared and raising concerns with Mr. Martinson and we can work together to have the best school that we can,” Kaczmarski said.
