Together we will, Together we can. When we say this we mean that we want to work with our student body to create policies that create real change in a realistic way, taking everyone into consideration

I feel like what differentiates us from the rest of the candidates is that we are more realistic with our policies and we strive to create policies that actually create change in an attainable way. As caucus presidents we don't want to lie to our peers telling them we're going to do something when we haven't even made sure it's even attainable. Our main goal is to provide you the best year we can possibly give you that is within our capabilities.
As your future caucus presidents we want to show you that your opinions and your issues matter to us. Our freshmen are extremely valuable to us and we want to prove this to you in our caucus presidency. We are very open to criticism and so if there is something even if one person has something they want to add or they don't find good about our policies we want to take it into consideration.
As your Future Presidents we value community immensely and one of our main goals is to grow and strengthen our community bonds. We want to do this with our many community events and workshops and we plan on adding more to our list in the future.
As your future caucus presidents we want to be able to build strong connections and show love and care for our community. We want to be a safe space for any of our fellow freshmen so that they feel comfortable telling us how we can make our school better
It has been a recurring issue at Stuyvesant how there is a lack of separate sex swim. Which is why we want to advocate for after school swim programs that can take place of swim-gym for those willing to participate and since it is after school there would be less scheduling issues.
As Stuyvesant students we face incredible amounts of pressure and stress to be the smartest and best at everything. And Students at Stuy fail to realize that everyone is struggling with something and that at the end of the day we’re all Stuyvesant students who all feel the pressure. So we want to incorporate that into our study groups and create a sense of community and add a more emotional aspect to tutoring so that students don’t get that sense of insecurity in their abilities. There will be forms put in place for sophomore through seniors to sned in and we will evaluate who is fit to tutor, we will also make sure we have them elaborate on what they are good at, like are they patient to teach, or good at strengthening skills that are already therer. Likewise their will be forms for the freshmen to express what they are specifically looking for.
Stuyvesant is a gigantic school with an immense amount of people in it. And we as your future caucus presidents want to be able to take into consideration all your ideas and concerns. You will be able to suggest new policies, rules, and events. We want to put out these forms annually so that everyone can have a chance to present new ideas.
As your future caucus presidents, we want to be as transparent with you as possible; so we want to invite you all to our cabinet meetings where you can see what we’re doing and ask questions afterward. And like so you're aware of everything that we’re doing.
At the previous freshman picnic everyone who went saw how chaotic and unorganized it was. And as your future caucus presidents we want to do it again this time with more food and more organization so that everyone will be able to have a better experience.
We are aware that last year the prom was not what everyone hoped for but we want to do it again but with better food and better activities so that it's more enjoyable.
We know how disappointed many people were when spirit week came and there was no culture Day. So we want to make that possible with our presidency!
As caucus presidents there is only so much we can do which is why we need the help of our freshman to help us fund all the activities for you. Through bake sales, water balloon fights where you buy balloons to throw at your friends in the summer, Bracelet making where you pay a small fee to get to make your own bracelets and more!!!
As highschoolers it might be difficult for some to navigate their social life whether it be with your friends, online, or anywhere else. And with these workshops we aim to help students create healthy bonds with those around them and educate our peers on how to handle tough situations with our peers.
