KidVote

The Kidvote campaign will begin this week, Monday, September 22nd. The kids will begin to see "presidential moments" on the morning announcements. They will also get to view a hilarious skit about two political parties. One party is the Pool Party, and the other party is the Rubber Chicken Party. The purpose of the play is to present the idea of political diversity and accepting other people's view as different, not bad.
