Election Time

You probably couldn't go very long in your day without some sort of reminder that the presidential election is rapidly approaching.  We are being bombarded with information from all sides from everywhere.  And, as you know, tonight is the second debate. 
Although the fifth graders aren't old enough to have their votes counted towards the election of the candidates or issues, their votes will be counted in the KidsVote election.  All students will be given the opportunity to vote in our school polling place on election day and their votes will be counted.  If you would like to talk with your child about the candidates or issues on the ballot, here are a couple of helpful resources:
