November News Story by Ian

At Glenridge Elementary School in the Makerspace in November the election month, students got the chance to vote in a simulation for the president.  The votes don’t count in the real election but it’s always fun to think it does.  In this simulation 5th grade XL group got to lead it as well as vote and the rest of the school got to just vote.  A couple days later they announced who won at our school.  Hillary Clinton won our school.  A lot of kids liked it like Madeline who said “it was very exciting and a good learning experience.  Ceci said “it was fun but she wished the whole 5th grade could have hosted it not just the gifted group”.  This event only happens every 4 years which is every election.  The gifted group was lucky to do this because only ¼ of the classes get to do that.  This was a really good learning experience.
