EAHS Seniors Take Oath as Student Board Members of the EASD 131 Board of EducationLos estudiantes de último año de EAHS prestan juramento como miembros estudiantiles de la Junta de Educación de EASD 131

East Aurora High School Seniors Alondra Limon and Edward Zavala were both sworn as Student Board Members during the October 2, 2023 School Board Meeting. They will serve as representatives of the students to the board as well as of the board to students until the end of their Senior year.

Limon is currently the President of the Science National Honor Society and Vice President of the National Honor Society. “I look forward to the opportunity of collaborating with the board administration and most importantly, the student body to create a school environment that empowers every one of my peers to excel and thrive.”

“I had the opportunity to teach Alondra in both AP Seminar and AP Research. Very early on she asserted herself not only as a very strong student and writer, but also as a valuable leader,” expressed Shane Gillespie, AP Instructor at East Aurora High School.

Zavala was recently selected to participate in the first cohort of Freedom Scholars in the Civic Humanities Project at North Central College. Zavala is also the co-founder of Teen Health Allies- a youth organization aimed at providing resources for those that lack access to mental support. “It is important to give everyone a platform to voice their opinions and be heard. Many students long for a chance to express themselves in and out of the classroom. I want to be the person in their corner, advocating for their needs and speaking up on their behalf.”

“I have had the opportunity to see Edward work as a student, volunteer, student leader, an advocate for youth and a “man with a dream” many times.” shared Jan Fitzsimmons, Ph.D., President, Center for Success in High-Need Schools, North Central College. “Edward will change the world for the better!”

Los estudiantes de último año de East Aurora High School Alondra Limón y Edward Zavala juramentaron como miembros de la Junta Estudiantil durante la reunión de la Junta Escolar del 2 de octubre de 2023. Ellos representarán a los estudiantes ante la junta escolar y la junta estudiantil hasta el final de su último año escolar.

Limón es actualmente la presidenta de la Science National Honor Society y vice presidenta de la National Honor Society. “Espero la oportunidad de colaborar con la junta administrativa y principalmente, el cuerpo estudiantil para crear un ambiente escolar que empodere a cada uno de mis compañeros para sobresalir y prosperar”.

“Tuve la oportunidad de ser maestro de Alondra en AP Seminar y AP Research. Desde el principio, se destacó no sólo como una buena estudiante y escritora, sino también como una valiosa líder”, expresó Shane Gillespie, instructor de AP de East Aurora High School.

Recientemente, Zavala fue seleccionado para participar en el primer grupo de Freedom Scholars en el Civic Humanities Project en North Central College. Zavala es cofundador de Teen Health Allies- una organización juvenil con el objetivo de proveer recursos a quienes no tienen apoyo de salud mental. “Es importante ofrecer una plataforma donde todos expresen su opinión y se hagan escuchar. Muchos estudiantes anhelan una oportunidad para expresarse dentro y fuera del aula. Quiero ser la persona que esté de su lado, luchando por sus necesidades y abogando por ellos”.

“Muchas veces he tenido la oportunidad de ver a Edward trabajar como estudiante, voluntario, líder estudiantil, defensor de la juventud y un ‘hombre con un sueño'”. afirmó Jan Fitzsimmons, Ph.D., presidenta del Center for Success in High-Need Schools de North Central College. “¡Edward va a mejorar el mundo!”
