Both Patrick Connelly and Aidan Campbell are hardworking and bright individuals.  They are Honor students at Middletown High School North whom are also members of the varsity football team and have been involved with Student Government since the 9th grade.    In their campaign video, Campbell said, “We promise to listen to your voice,” with Connelly adding that they are both “hard-working people”.  After speaking with these two young men, it is obvious that their focus is on serving as the voice of the entire student body and trying to implement positive change to make students overall experience at Middletown High School North a positive one.  Connelly also added, “All of our students are just as important as a person holding a title,  each student’s input is just as important as mine.  My job is to make sure that each student’s message is heard.”
