The Student Body President of Belle Plaine High School is Tony Jones. Upon interviewing Mr. Jones, this is what he had to say…
What changes have you made for the BP student body?
“We have been in the working stages of organizing a dance and fundraising for the high school, in which that would be used for a new item. I also have tried changing lunches and field trips both in which will not be capable to being changed.”
Do you have any other plans for the year?
“We are searching for fundraising ideas to broaden our funds. I would also like a guest speaker and a surprise for the student body.”
Have you fulfilled any of your promises?
“I would say I have done a good job in trying to do my tasks. There are a lot of things that must be changed for lunch, which will not work. The school budget cuts also shut down any hope of field trips.”
What are your responsibilities as BPHS Student Body President?
“Fundraise, lead student voices, and be a role model to the student body.”
What is the purpose of student council?
“To make our school a better place as well as teaching students involved in student council leadership skills for the future.”
What is it like being the BPHS Student Body President?
“It’s a role of leadership I have to acknowledge. Being a role model for our school is a big deal. It’s also a learning time for me as well.”
Do you like being the Student Body President of BPHS? Why?
“I enjoy it…it’s a lot of work. I enjoy working for the school by representing the student body.”
Hopefully Tony Jones can keep up the good work here at Belle Plaine High School. As Belle Plaine’s Student Body President the goal should always be to improve the school and the student morale as well as represent the Plainsmen proudly.
