Bolton CSD
kindergarteners had the chance to participate in the voting process and have
their voices heard today and the votes are in!
Leading up to Election Day, kindergarten teacher Mrs. Egloff
and Mrs. Persons wanted students to understand the importance of elections and experience
democracy in action so they staged an election and had the class vote on the
animal to be the kindergarten mascot for the rest of the school year.
Every kindergartener nominated an animal that he or she
would like to have represent the class. The two most popular candidates, black
bear and moose, were placed on the official election ballot. The class created
its own ballot box and asked all the elementary students to vote on the
candidate they thought would make the best kindergarten mascot.
Then kindergarteners used their counting skills to tally the
ballots and determine the winner.
We are proud to report that the black bear won the election
and will be the kindergarten class mascot this year!
