So it is that time of the year again - Election time!
For Student Government, that is.
Both of my kids have decided to run for their respective classroom Representative positions.
For Miss M, this will be the fifth year she will be running (yes, she has run each year since 1st grade - unsuccessfully - but remains determined)
For Drewby, this is the first year he is able to run.
Tonight was campaign poster making night. Drewby came up with the idea for his poster...and I helped a little on the computer and with the big cutter.
"Score a Touchdown...Vote for Drewby" is his slogan. He put his face on a flying football...very cute.
He is one of 12 kids in his class (of 23) running for class representative.
Miss M was in total control of hers. It is filled with a picture of her, her slogan "Your choice for a New voice", and traits she possesses which would make her a good rep.
Oh and we cannot forget the pink hearts, yellow stars, and green clovers...just kidding (about the green clovers).
She is one of 9 kids, out of 22 running for class rep.
Tomorrow night will be sticker making night (since we don't have the button making gadget we do round stickers).
And there is a strict policy of no candy hand-outs. (that was Drewby's first choice!)
Which is a good thing as one of the girls in Miss M's grade is our State Reps daughter. The one year she ran, there were helium balloons with her name on them as a hand-out.
I don't even try to compete with that!
Then, they will both have speeches to write and the weekend to work on presenting them.
Next Monday is Rally Day, when they will each give their speech to their classes.
And next Tuesday, is Election Day.
It is a busy week for a 6 and 10 year old - on top of homework and sports.
Of course, I am way more into this campaign than the actual political campaign going on. (On that front I am still undecided.)
As for our homefront campaign - I know who my choices would definitely be.
Oh that's right - only the students get to vote!
So I will wait (impatiently) for the results of this election to come in next Wednesday.
Til next time, I'll still be...

How fun! Around here I am the Representative, the President, the Dictator, the Head Mama in Charge ;)
What great memories they will have looking back on these times. And I am so impressed with your daughter for not giving up and running year after year. Good luck to your kiddos!
