We’re excited to share the final results for our 6th Grade Student Government!

Students in Mr. Ethridge, Mrs. Perryman, and Mr. Hedden’s Social Studies classes began with a primary election, where all 6th graders had the chance to run for leadership roles in our community. After voting for their peers, selected candidates created posters and campaigned leading up to the final vote.

Yesterday, the 6th grade voted and our winners were officially chosen!

Next week, these students will get to shadow real community leaders and learn what their roles are all about. On Wednesday, they’ll attend a special luncheon and give speeches about what they experienced and learned.

A fun and memorable opportunity for our students—we’re proud of all who participated!
