Excitement is building at the Middle School as we prepare for our upcoming mock election! This highly anticipated event will take place on Tuesday October 28th, and it offers students a unique opportunity to experience the voting process firsthand while learning about the importance of civic engagement.
The mock election, organized by the Social Studies department, is designed to mirror a real-world election. Students will cast their votes for candidates running for mock government positions, as well as vote on important issues and propositions that reflect current events. Teachers have been incorporating lessons on voting rights, the history of elections, and the role of government into their classes to ensure students are well-prepared when they step into the voting booth. This hands-on experience is all about empowering students to become informed, active citizens. "North Hills Middle School is committed to providing real-world learning opportunities," says Joe Welch, who is helping to coordinate the event. "This mock election gives students the chance to see how their voice matters and how elections shape the world around us." On election day, students will vote in a polling station set up in the school, giving them a taste of what it's like to participate in an official election. Results will be announced in a school-wide assembly, and winners will have the opportunity to take on leadership roles within the student government. |
