HMS Mock Election (Campaign 2012)

HMS students and staff voted on Wednesday in the HMS Mock Election (Campaign 2012). Voting booths were borrowed from the Town of Yarmouth and specimen ballots were used.

Mrs. Newick and the 7th grade teachers and students set up the mock election to help the students become more aware of the voting process. This activity directly related to the civic/government learning area outcome in social studies.
