6 STUDENT PROMISE: I do solemnly promise that if I am appointed as a HELM Executive Committee member, I will perform all the student government duties assigned to me to the best of my ability. I know that this Executive Committee position will require several hours of work each week and I am willing to devote the time needed to do my job right the first time. I do understand that my obligations to HELM have priority. I understand that as an Executive Committee member, I am expected to uphold the integrity of the Allatoona student government (HELM) and to use good judgment and behavior while representing Allatoona High School and The HELM. I realize that my actions off campus are accountable to the integrity of the organization and a testament to my integrity and leadership. I understand that this application is for review purposes and does not constitute an automatic approval for selection to run for a class officer position. Teacher recommendations, attendance, tardies, discipline (includes Saturday School, ISS and OSS), and GPA will also be taken into consideration. I have made preparations for a MANDATORY meeting Thursday, April 13th at 7:30am in room 2303 if I am chosen to run for an Executive Committee position. Signature Date PARENT PROMISE: As the parent of the above student, I understand the amount of time required of a student who is an active HELM Executive Committee member. I will provide transportation as needed for this student to attend before and after school activities as bus transportation is normally not provided. Lack of transportation will never be the reason my child cannot make a HELM mandatory event. Although some events cost money for all students, I am aware that as much consideration as possible is given to HELM Executive Committee members for the out-of-pocket expense to be a minimum. Parent signature Date REMINDER: This application is due Friday, March 31 st!
