At the end of 8th grade Chinook Trail and Challenger Middle School made an announcement about running for Student Council for the following school year at Pine Creek.
It required gathering 50 signatures from fellow students, as well as 3 teacher recommendations to apply. Jonathan made short work of the 50 signature and letters (I recall it only took him a day or two for the signatures).
All of the applications were reviewed by the current Student Council at Pine Creek. In addition, middle school GPA was a big factor. In the end Jonathan was elected class president!
