It’s Election Day! 🗳️🇺🇸🗳️
Today is especially exciting for many of our high school students, as they cast their ballots for the very first time in a government election! These students have been working hard to prepare, researching national and local candidates as well as amendments and measures, ensuring they’re informed when they step into the voting booth.
For several of them, voting feels like a milestone. Washington High School senior Chase Sayabath shared, “Voting really does matter. Voicing your opinion is always important, and pushing for what you believe in is always valid. It’s good to try to make a difference where you can.”
Join students like Chase, James, Joe, Teonna, and Emily in doing your part as a U.S. citizen today, VOTE! It's not just for our future but for the future of our students.
