Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I think you should pass out buttons or pens and i think you should say why you should be chosen and that all i can say

For your speech:
-Mention that you will represent the voices of all the middle school, not just you and your friends.
-Cover all the main points, but don't talk for too long. Don't let people get bored.
-I'm not sure what student government does specifically at your school, but talk about specific things you'll do as president. For example, if the president would plan the dances, you can talk about getting good DJ's.
For the rest of your campaign:
-Make posters. They should all be colorful, have your name (really big), your picture, what you're running for, and preferably and catchy or funny slogan. The slogan can be anything from "Got [your name here]?" to "Vote for me! I don't jaywalk!"
-If you can, take blank white sticky labels and write "Vote For [Your Name] For President!" on them. Then pass them out to your friends and have them wear them. My friend did that and almost everyone in my grade was wearing them.
-MAKE COOKIES. Seriously. I ran for student government last year, made cookies, and won. Coincidince? I think not.
-Ask people's opinions. I'm running for Social Chair this year, so I went up to everyone in my class one day at lunch and asked people what they would change about the school dances. I wrote all the answers down and actually got some really good information, AND it showed people that I cared about what they thought.
Good luck with election, I hope you win :)

I'd say make funny posters - ones that will stand out. Also, try to say "hi, soandso" to everyone you pass in the hall, addressing them by name. That way they will see that you care about all of them, since you've taken the time to learn their names. If that doesn't work, you can always resort to handing out lollipops with "Vote for [yournamehere]!" papers attached to them, hehe. Good luck!

you could promise for more dances, or more parties, stuff you think the kids will like, then you could pass out little 99 cent bears with little coffie mugs (99 cent) that have your name on it, or little necklasses that say vote for (YOUR NAME).

hey. i'm always happy to help someone else who has to campaign..i have been through it before (three times actually)...and i know, it can be hard.
if you are handing out flyers and stickers..make sure they are colorful so that they grab people's attention....use diff. fonts...(but that are easy to read)...bold ur name...and write your name capitalized everytime...oo and the word president as well...so that the most seen thing is your name and pres. so even if they don't pay mind to it...they will see your name and pres...
pass out pins for your close friends to wear...make sure they wear them for the duration of campaigning.
also if you can...make a banner or use poster boards...that you can hang around the school, use bright colors
the last thing i would say...is to make sure you talk to your peers..let them know what you stand for
other than that...all i can say is good luck...hope your campaign goes well and do not get discouraged if you lose or if people are mean.
