“Chapel has always been one of my favorite Fresno Christian traditions, which is why I would love to be a part of it.  I love praying, whether it’s by myself or in front of a large group, but I hope that by being Chaplain I can grow in my speaking skills. Fresno Christian is one team, one family and that we all need to encourage and pray with each other. I would love to get to know each and everyone one of you better this year so that I can encourage and pray with you.

Secretary

Sam Cross, 2019

Varsity baseball pitcher and Feather editor-in-chief, senior Sam Cross runs for ASB secretary. Cross outlines his goal to leave a healthy impact on the campus during his last year at FC.

“Hi I’m Sam Cross and I am running for the position of Associated Student Body Secretary. I am a senior here on campus and I have attended Fresno Christian for six years. Last year, I had no intentions of joining leadership or running for an ASB position, but I want to leave a lasting and positive legacy on this campus, and leadership provides a platform for such aspirations.

“If provided with the privilege of becoming the secretary, my desire is to have a more inclusive stance on others’ perspectives and ideas both in the leadership class and in the hallways.

“Traditionally secretaries are responsible for maintaining the bulletin board found at the front entrance of the school. The board was only maintained partially during the last school year, I plan to consistently keep the board up-to-date so that it can be used as a reliable source of campus news.

“Many art students on campus create amazing pieces of artwork, but I have found that the only way to appreciate their creations is to visit Mrs. Belmont’s art class. I see an excellent opportunity to showcase student’s artwork each week on the bulletin board.  

“Finally, I dedicate my senior year to positively impacting those around me and creating a healthier culture on campus. If elected I hope that the students, teachers and my leadership peers will hold me accountable for what I have set out to do and the values I stand for. Thank you for your time.”

Cross seeks to better the campus if his peers elected him as secretary. Secretaries are responsible for documenting student leadership meetings and presides over meetings in the circumstance that both the president and vice president are absent.  

Vice President

Kamryn Schultz, 2019

Junior Kamryn Schultz will be Vice President. Schultz enjoys playing volleyball for FCS and hanging out with her friends. She looks at serving her school as an opportunity that she has grasped by being the Vice President. 

“I’m Kamryn Schultz and I’m running for Vice President. I am the only candidate for this position, therefore you should vote for me despite the qualifications I may or may not have. I love this school; I’ve attended here since 6th grade, and it brings me so much joy to see everyone has grown up and everything we’ve accomplished.

“Here’s what I love about FCS: I love the small environment, I love the ability to talk about God freely, and the opportunity to participate in many events I wouldn’t have been able to elsewhere.

“I’m super excited about this year and I will do my best to serve you, the student body, to the best of my ability. Even though being vice president seems like a secondary role, I see it as more than that. I see it as an opportunity to exercise my giftings in the area of leadership and point people to Christ in the place that I care about the most. So vote for me, Kamryn Schultz, as your Vice President.”

The Vice-President shall share the duties and responsibilities of the President. The Vice-President shall chair the Academic Affairs Committee, and shall be the officially appointed student representative of the Academic Committee.

His goal for the school year is for everyone in the student body to be comfortable with voicing their concerns.

“Hello, my name is Alexander Rurik and I am running for student body president. I’ve attended this school since kindergarten, but really have been around since the beginning of my memory. The school, the teachers, and coaches have invested so much in me, and so many others. Therefore, I want to invest back into the school.

That way, if you have an idea, opinion, or want to make your voice heard, I will be available to listen. I believe this place is special, most specifically because of the people on campus, both staff, and students.
