Reminder: Students and faculty please remember to register to vote for the mock election.
Students-Please do not vandalize or deface political posters that are displayed around school. The Elections and Government class has worked hard on these as a graded project as part of our Mock Election project for the whole school. There are an equal number of posters for Republican and Democratic candidates as well as many for third party candidates posted throughout the campus. If you disapprove of a certain candidate-vote in the Mock Election next Tuesday. That is the mature thing to do-not to deface their posters.
