Brock Raebel is the sophomore class president at Lakeland High School.
His jobs and responsibilities genuinely reflect his persona. Raebel feels that communication between the student body and student council is his primary responsibility as the sophomore class president.
His goal this year was for the sophomores to win the homecoming competition. Sadly, they lost by one point to the seniors, and he was personally sad about the defeat. Another goal Raebel has is to create more events that students would want to attend and participate in.
“It is a surprisingly hard job to figure out events that one knows people will participate in, so trying to communicate and create ideas through and from the student body is one of my number one goals,” Raebel said.
Raebel’s job is to represent the sophomore class, and while he serves as the sophomore class president, he is mainly responsible for three events: homecoming, the food drive and Battle for the Paddle.
He works on running the Christmas assembly, where he helps with all of the Christmas wish lists and the Battle for the Paddle assembly as well. Raebel also helps figure out the gifts given to the students during those specific assemblies.
Raebel’s other duties consist of planning homecoming for the sophomore class, counting and running the penny drive, which raised 1500 dollars last year, and representing the sophomore class as a whole.
“I voted for Brock because I felt like he was a dependable person worthy of this position,” Evan Hildesheim said.
Although Raebel feels it’s hard to change the community and bring it closer to one another, especially when facing challenges he cannot control. He wishes everyone would participate in extracurricular activities such as attending games and other school events. People are what make a community what it is.
All he can do is offer encouragement and promote increased gaming participation. The importance of communication is repeatedly cited as a goal in the student council. A group that communicates is open and cooperative. He’ll make an effort to communicate, and he knows that he can always get better at it.
Raebel has a warming personality that is easy to get along with and agree with. Raebel is a kind human.
