As October unfolds, Cardozo students face an important decision: who should they vote for in this year’s student elections? If you want your voice to be heard, it’s important to choose representatives who will effectively advocate for your needs and desires. This year, we have a fantastic lineup of candidates ready to represent the interests of Cardozo students.
Presidential Candidates
The presidential candidates are Ivy Varricchio, Kyle Chung, and Joseph Cha. Each candidate has proposed new school policies that aim to enhance Cardozo’s activities. When choosing our president, we must consider who can truly represent the entire student body.
Ivy Varricchio
Ivy Varricchio, a senior, is committed to finding more fundraising opportunities to support fun events for Cardozo students. “We could organize monthly raffles, promote engaging events, and hold bake sales at games,” she suggested. Varricchio aims to create more interactive experiences for students across all grades.
Kyle Chung
Kyle Chung, also a senior, strives to improve the school environment. “My goal is to create a cleaner and safer space for all Cardozo students,” he explained. “I will communicate updates through a school-wide Google Classroom and, as a member of the safety committee, I will advocate for a cleaner school.”
Joseph Cha
Joseph Cha, a senior with prior experience as last year’s vice president, outlined his plans if elected president. “First, I want to introduce events like Teacher vs. Student Night and field days for friendly competitions. Additionally, I plan to host parties for seniors and underclassmen alike, and I’ll ensure events run smoothly.”
Vice Presidential Candidates
The candidates for vice president are Annmaria Joshy, Bhawi Sinigh, and Krisha Patel.

Finally, our candidates for secretary are Krishna Pillai, Muhammad Mujahid, and Krisha Patel.
