Chelsi Peter Boone High School Newspaper/Online view Chelsi's video Hi! My name is Chelsi Peter and I am thrilled to be running for the Student District 3 Representative. To give you an insight about myself, I am currently in 11th grade at Boone High School and I love being active in my school’s activities and sports. I’ve been on my school’s varsity swim team since freshman year. Academically I am part of the Law Magnet as well. Some of the activities I participate at school include: Key Club, Best Buddies, Baking Braves, NSHSS(which is formally known as The National Society of High School Scholars) and NHS. I love giving back to my school and community especially through volunteering at Teen Court and making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for those in need with Key Club. One of my favorite activities at school I am in is being part of my schools newspaper. On staff, I’ve been able to work with last year’s Journalist of the Year Jack Rummler, who has taught me so much whether it was working together on staff as a team and helping me improve my journalism skills. I have always had a passion for journalism, and my experience with being on staff last year, has led me to my position as Junior Editor-in-Chief this year. |
