Our voices were heard. We Voted!
| On Monday, November 3, LES K-6 students let their
political voices be heard. Students participated in a mock
presidential election by coming to the library and casting their
ballots on computer. After casting their votes, students were
presented a certificate of voting participation and an " I voted"
sticker to wear. This activity was sponsored by American Legacy Publishing and 5th/6th social studies teacher Mrs. Katrina Boteler. There were at least 4 million k-6 students across the 50 states that had pre-registered for this voting activity. On Tuesday, November 4, the results of the mock election were announced. Students across America chose Barack Obama over John McCain as the next president of the United States. |
