Due to the U.S. elections this year, the 6th grade teacher and I paired our students and gave them an opportunity to participate in our own election. Each group picked a famous person to research and promote for "president" of CISP. We then invited the whole school to a special assembly where our students gave short campaign speeches and every student and staff member voted for "president."
My students did such a great job! I was beaming with pride the whole time!

| First candidate- Napoleon! |
 |
| Robert E. Lee |
 |
| Walt Disney |
 |
| And his brother Roy Disney |
 |
| Neil Armstrong |
Other candidates not pictured included Eric the Red, Helen Keller, and Christopher Columbus.
Overall, the election was success. The students worked hard to research their historical figures, create a campaign poster (posted behind the students), and write a speech to convince the school to vote for their candidates. It was close vote, but Walt Disney came out on top!
