The Great Mayoral Debate
We had a fantastic debate yesterday about the important mayoral issues that are being discussed for the upcoming Civic Election. The students came prepared, dressed for success and had researched questions to stump their opponents. If you are not sure who to vote for this election, try asking your child, they know the issues and the positions that the different candidates are taking. CIVIX Election Today we had the Student Vote CIVIX Debate that mirrors the official debate on October 16th. The results from our vote will be sent with other students who voted to compare how the students vote comparatively to adults. In years past, the elections results for both have been close to the same. We are not allowed to release our results until after the election is over. We will look at our results and compare them to the official results after the Civic Election. Language Arts:
