BHS Sophomore, Madalyn Vieu, Named Student Ambassador to the Board of Education
BHS Sophomore, Madalyn Vieu, was recently selected by the BPS101 Board of Education to be its next Student Ambassador.
Madalyn Vieu, Student Ambassador
Each year, the Board appoints one Batavia High School student to serve a two-year term as a Student Ambassador. Student Ambassadors represent the BPS101 student body at all regular Board Meetings and communicate the student body’s viewpoint on issues before the Board.
Let’s get to know Madalyn by asking her a few questions.
Why did you decide to apply for the Student Ambassadorship?
I decided to apply for student ambassador because I felt like it was a very good leadership opportunity and I want to know more about how the board of education works and how I can help better improve the education of the student body.
What are you most excited about doing during your two-year term?
I am most excited to help the board of education see how the students feel and not even in the high school but throughout the district, on how they think their education can be improved to help them learn better and be more successful.
How would you describe your leadership style?
I really like to listen to others’ ideas and make sure everyone has an understanding of what the main goals are. I also like to collaborate with others on what they think the best solutions would be and go from there.
If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with the extra time?
If I didn’t have to sleep I would probably do a few things like see some friends, maybe do some school work if I had any, or just hang out around home.
Favorite BHS class so far?
What extracurricular activities do you participate in?
I plan to go to college, maybe somewhere down south, get my degree in pre-medicine or biology, and then go to medical school to be a pediatrician with some sort of specialty.
And one final thought from Madalyn, “I am very honored to be the student ambassador and look forward to working with the district for the next two years!” We are honored to have you as a Student Ambassador and can’t wait to hear your voice on the Board of Education.
