America, It’s Voting Time By: Madeline
On Monday, November 7th, some students at Glenridge Elementary helped host an annual tradition called Kids Vote. Glenridge students got the chance to vote for the candidates in the presidential and state elections.
This year, the Kids Vote election for Glenridge was quite different from others. Many students did not want to vote because they did not favor either candidate. When interviewing one of the helpers Madeline, she said “I understand people do not want to vote. I know how hard it is for some people to make this decision. Kids Vote is not just about voting, it keeps a Glenridge tradition alive. But deep down, it’s about letting students put all their hard work on making this Kids Vote election an amazing experience”. This years results turns out that Glenridge voted for all Democratic candidates and a yes to passing a voter ID law and tobacco tax.
Kids Vote took a lot of planning. Students worked on lessons to teach to each grade level and help create signs and make announcements. It was according to some “very chaotic”. When talking about presenting lessons, another helper Sage said “ I was nervous and afraid I would mess up". On the other hand, helper Evan said “ I was feeling confident”.
No matter who people voted for or what they thought was difficult about preparing, every Glenridge student shares something in common, they all love America. And that love is something everyone can bond over. Kids Vote was just another way to express love for the United States of America.
