Students staged an all-school election...

...complete with campaign speeches...

...presented to receptive audiences.

Questions on the ballot included whether or not skaters should have to wear safety equipment like bicyclists have to; whether or not the school week should be changed to four days; whether the airplane, telephone, or light bulb should be named the greatest invention.

Voters definitely had their opinions.

The ballot box was ready...

...and voting booths were set up.

Sixth graders verified voters' eligibility and handed out ballots.

Students enjoyed participating in the democratic process firsthand...

...first grader...

...and sixth grader alike.

. American red, white, and blue...

..."I Have Voted" stickers, too!
