Social Studies class holding canned food drive election

The 8th grade social studies class is holding a canned food drive election from October 8th to election day November 6th. Students who wish to participate are asked to bring a non-perishable food item(s) in order to cast their vote for President Obama or Governor Romney. On Election Day, the 8th grade will weigh each candidate's total items and the candidate with the most weight will be declared the winner. They can vote (bring canned foods or other items) as often as they wish.
     The goal of this project is to raise awareness of the election as well as increase civic involvement. All canned food items will be donated to an local food bank.
    Donation boxes are located in the library, the hallway of the Elementary and outside of Mr. Peter's classroom.
