This week we put citizenship into practice by learning about some of the candidates and races of Election 2014.  Today at the same time town residents were voting in the gym, our 5-8 students voted in a mock election held in the library. In addition to voting, my classes took on the task of counting all those ballots. Our mock election results can be seen below.  How do our choices differ from the official results?

Thank you for doing this! There is nothing more important than citizenship.
