Hello! My name is Caden Chu, and I am running for president of our great school alongside Zach. Throughout my middle school life, I have held some leadership positions. In 6th grade, I won the election, joined the leadership club last year, and this year, I hope to finish it off by securing the highest position with the most duties. I am ready for this position and will not let you down! I promise to take your student input and make it into something everyone can enjoy!

This summer, I had the honor of joining the City of San Mateo's Sister City exchange trip to Toyonaka, Japan, alongside 5 other students, Mayor Robert Newsom, and many city officials. It was a great experience learning their culture, eating their food, going into the city, and best of all, THE CONVENIENCE STORES! They truly are as great as they are claimed.

This school year, I also have the honor on the SMFCSD ESV (district council), the SMFCSD's Vision Design Team, which will build the 2027-32 Community Strategic Plan, and also the SMFCSD Sanctuary Task Force. In 6th grade, I also had a seat on the San Mateo Youth Activities Council, was an attendee of the 2024 Youth Leadership Summit, and a major volunteer. Every day at lunch, am am present making sure all my classmates receive a lunch. Last year, I logged a total of 112 volunteer hours across lunch, Thanksgiving volunteering, beach cleanups, and more, earning me a Presidential Volunteer Service Award Gold.

Outside of school, I enjoy umpiring baseball games, playing flight simulator, helping out, and hanging out with family or friends. If you frequently go downtown, there's a good chance we were there on the same day or maybe time!

Let's finish out our middle school career well. Don't make the wrong choice. Make the right one.
