The Upper School celebrated the qualities of leadership, integrity and pride and officially introduced the 12 Student Senate leaders at an Inauguration Ceremony held on October 23 in the Meeting House. Upper School Head Roxanne Zazzaro, the first speaker, described the five qualities she has observed in the 2007-2008 student senators: respect, selflessness, empowered by their initiative, a striving to achieve the goals of the school, and serving as an inspiration to others by positive example. She then gave a charge to the Senate as the representative voice of the student body and the senators recited their oath of service. Senate faculty advisors Sergei Mikhelson and Lyubov Obertnaya also participated in the ceremony, presenting certificates and T-shirts to each of the student leaders. Student Senate President John Vielot concluded the proceedings with a speech. He took note of the 100th anniversary of the Upper School and talked about the many advancements and progress the school has made recently. “The Senate is the vehicle to get your ideas out and your voices heard,” said John. He also pointed out that work on the Senate helps students focus on their strengths and leadership abilities, learn how to find balance in life, and work collaboratively with others. Composed of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and the president and senator of each grade, the Senate works with faculty and administration to address student needs and make general improvements within the school. The Senate also coordinates student clubs and activities that meet weekly. Top photo: Student Senate leaders, from left: John, Derek, Nick, Octavia, Sherika, Alex, Sophia, Frank, Anna, and Ashley.
