This will be my first year on Student Council and I hope I can help Wildcats to have fun on campus and live passion. It will be an exciting year for me because I will also be one of the Proctors in Mem. East, an Ar\u00eate tutor, an International Student Mentor, and one of the Girls Varsity Golf captains in the spring. Outside of school, I\u2019m also running a charitable website with some of my friends. Painting and golfing are two of my favorite things to do during my spare time. Actually my favorite thing is FOOD. If someone need any suggestions for restaurants around the campus and in Northampton, I will be happy to help them figure this part out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/studentcouncil\/files\/2015\/07\/my-bio-pic.png\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nate Gordon, Senior Class President This is my\u00a0sixth year as\u00a0a day student at\u00a0Williston,\u00a0but\u00a0my first\u00a0on Student Council.\u00a0In the last five years I have been\u00a0able to experience\u00a0many facets of Williston&#8217;s campus.
