ELECTIONS!
Asalamualaikum, my dear readers, this is Alia Ahmad Khan, your 7-grade contributor to the BLA blog. It’s once again that time of year when we elect the people we look up to, the students whom we want leading us, for the Position of Head Boy and Girl. As we all know, last year’s elections were hectic as everybody was adjusting to normal school life after staying for two years in the confinement of our homes to protect ourselves from the deadly and rampant COVID-19. Even though the elections took place last year, students were disappointed because their chosen leaders did nothing except stop them from going inside their classes at break times to save themselves from the heat. However, this year students hope that our latest candidate will live up to our expectations, and YOU (yes, you) can make your vote count by reading about your favorite candidates on the BLA blog.
