Lower Schoolers Vote for President

The polls may still be open for a few more hours, but Lower School students have already picked a winner in this year’s Presidential election.
The polls may still be open for a few more hours, but Lower School students have already picked a winner in this year’s Presidential election. Ranney’s first through fifth graders lined up in the Commons today to cast their ballots for their favorite presidential candidate as part of the Lower School’s mock election. Today’s voting was actually the culmination of several weeks of civic education with teachers and students engaged in a series of lessons and presentations about government, politics and civic responsibility. To replicate the voting experience, students were required to register to vote during their lunch periods last week. Even the youngest students got in on the action. The 3-year-old Beginners, Pre-K and Kindergarteners voted in their classrooms using paper ballots with pictures of the candidates. Once all the ballots were cast, they were tallied under the supervision of Mrs. Karen Wojaick and the fifth grade students, who also served as poll monitors. The final results – Senator John McCain – 211 votes, Senator Obama, 142. We’ll see how the results compare to the real election results tomorrow.
