Election Day

From New Album 11/7/08 8:57 PM

On Tuesday Mallory's school held their own presidential election. I was lucky enough to be asked to help run the booth for one hour in the morning. I had such fun! The kids each had to register to vote the day before, they would come down as a class, have to give their Name to be crosses off the list and were then handed a ballot and got to go sit in a voting booth to cast their vote. Mallory's class had 20 vote for McCain out the the 24 students. Overall McCain won the school election by over 180 votes. It was a great way for her to start to learn about the voting process and what she has to look forward to some day.

Oh yes, can't leave out that Mallory wore her "Snoopy for President" shirt and Mick wore his "Charlie Brown for President" shirt. Mallory's class also made very cute election hats.
