OASC Annual Conference Awards & Election

Congratulations to the ten St. Peter’s students who attended the Ohio Association of Student Councils Annual State Conference last weekend at Mansfield Senior High School.  The ten students representing St. Peter’s High School and Junior High School Student Councils included Corinne Amalfitano, Jacob Stewart, AnnMarie Hill, Ciera Carbetta, Emily McCarrick, Teagan Allen, Zoe Blank, Julia Rizzo, Alexie Lorenz and Ellie Charette.

The high school council received an Army of Volunteers Award for its Operation Clothes Basket collection of personal care items last Advent for area churches.

The junior high council received an Army of Volunteers Award for their project to help the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Northwest Ohio and they also received a superior on its display board for the Hall of Ideas.

Three students were honored in the All-Ohio Council for their service and willingness to go above and beyond expectations.  Congratulations to Corinne Amalfitano, Julia Rizzo and Chase Michael Smith.

A special congratulations to Corinne Amalfitano who was elected one of four senior level representatives to the Ohio Association of Student Councils State Board.  Corinne will serve a one-year term and will be helping to plan leadership activities for students all over the state of Ohio in the coming year  As a candidate at the conference, Corinne gave a three-minute speech on “How can a student demonstrate leadership/citizenship/sportsmanship?” and had to answer the impromptu question “Why should a council evaluate its progress?” In prior years, Corinne has attended four state conferences, two summer workshops, two leadership at the points, two super Saturdays, one fall retreat and one winter retreat.

We also extend a big thank you and hearty congratulations to our student council moderators here at St. Peter’s–Sarah Russell for high school and Angie Dillon for junior high.
