Student Voice Leading the Way at CMS
While many may be counting down the days until summer, CMS students are already looking ahead and preparing for the 2026–27 school year with ASB elections. It has been truly delightful to watch our students use their voices, step into leadership, and prepare to serve our school community.
This week, we had the opportunity to sit in and listen to practice speeches for our upcoming Election Assembly on May 1. We were struck not only by the confidence of our students but also by the heart, purpose, and care behind their words.
Here are just a few powerful quotes taken directly from their speeches:
“I truly care about our school and every single one of you.”
“I want to make our school even more fun and welcoming… because school should be a place where everyone belongs!”
“I’m giving this school my 100 percent. I’m not here to just play the game. I’m here to make sure we all win.”
“I care about our school and community… I think it’s important to support younger students and build a strong future for our schools.”
“We are 694 different students under one name: Chehalis Middle School… and we need to band together and rise up.”
“This is your school, your ideas, and your future—so let’s make it better together.”
“I love this community… I like to attend school events and support Chehalis whenever I can.”
“I want to help make our school a better place for everyone.”
These words are a true testament to the incredible community and families we have here in Chehalis. Our students care deeply, believe in one another, and carry a strong sense of hope for the future of CMS.
We are so proud of their leadership, and excited for what’s ahead!
