What is up Fieldston?!
We’re Austin (he/him) and Lucia (she/her), two (awesome) people who want to be your next FSG co-presidents! In the spirit of transparency (the backbone of our campaign)…(other than maybe parentheticals)…we have some things to share with you! Austin and I have been friends since we were 5. Not the typical “oh we’ve gone to school together since kindergarten friends”, but the “family barbeques every Sunday for the entirety of our time at Ethical” type of friends. We have been through it all. Including but not limited to middle school awkward phases, dance class afterschool, and Saturday night dinners at Five Napkin Burger on the Upper West Side. Much to our friends’ dismay, Lucia quite often orders the vegan tacos. Ew. As previously stated, we’ve been through it all. Now we’re prepared to give our all for you.
- Because we’re (so) committed to give our all for you, that means including you. Our administration will prioritize the student body and their needs. We want Fieldston to always be buzzing the way it is on the quad on a nice day or at Riverdeli during any given lunch period. Connection is what makes Fieldston what it is. Our cabinet will include equal amounts of upper and underclassmen. We feel that in order to really be in the know, we need eyes and ears everywhere in all grades. Unfortunately, being FSG co-presidents does not come with a personal Secret Service, so this is our solution. Just kidding everyone. We truly value each community member’s voice and want to hear all of them, no matter how loud or quiet.
- Winter and Spring pep rallies! As much as everyone loves the smell of the Football team during the fall, other sports deserve just as many of our eyes. (Or noses, whatever sense you prefer). Bring on more dances, more spirit, and more theatrics! We’re looking at you, Water Polo team.
- Newsletters every two weeks updating what we’ve been doing as presidents and exciting community accomplishments and events. The newsletter we email will include an optional survey in which anyone can voice what they want to see more of at school, ranging from mental health resources to their sadness about missing Trixie, our favorite therapy dog.
We are beyond excited to run for FSG co-presidents. We will have your backs. We want to help make Fieldston the best version it could possibly be, starting with highlighting its (awesome) students and faculty. Let’s go Eagles!
We hope to see you on the stage at Founder’s Day,
Lucia and Austin
