Lower Campus Holds Mock Elections

Students at the lower campus spent some of their time today learning about the election process. They found out who the candidates are and were then given an opportunity to vote.

It seems almost everyone had an opinion. The polls closed promptly after snack time with 98% of the students present casting a vote. Here are the results:
  • Barack Obama won 72% of the votes


  • Hillary Clinton came in second with 22%


  • John McCain, Ron Paul and Mitt Romney got 2% each


  • The remaining candidates recieved 0%

If you are curious about what the children had to say on election day, check out these video clips:
