Campaigning

This week Junior School had their annual election. Year 4 students have the opportunity to run for the six 'Junior School Leader' positions. They campaign hard - there wasn't a wall, a window or a pole without a "Vote #1" sign on it (it makes me laugh that they use the # sign). On Wednesday they each had to present their speech in front of all 200 Junior School kids and 30ish camera happy parents. They all did soooooo well! So many promised to tie shoelaces, run to get help if you fell over and play with you if you had no friends (because that's what leaders do).

It was then up to the K-4 kids to vote. Of course our teacher votes counted for more. And our amazing group of leaders was decided.

There is such a great mix of kids on this year's team! I'm looking forward to working with them!
First job - organise and advertise the Disco for Niko (arrgh March 1 is coming up very quickly).
