✈️💙🗳️ Learning About the Power of Our Vote! 🇺🇸
Our 4th graders are stepping into the world of democracy! Students participated in student elections and learned about the voting process, the importance of making informed choices, and how every vote counts. From learning about candidates to casting their own ballots, our students are building a better understanding of how elections work and why civic participation matters.
We are so proud of our students for being engaged, responsible citizens and learning the importance of having their voices heard! Congratulations to all of our 4th grade HVE candidates!
