A few of our slogans:
"A little change is a good thing"
"In Anna we TRUST"
"Respectful, Responsible, Reliable, and Here for YOU!"
Campaigning was a family affair. Here we see campaign headquarters in full force as Anna and Janae design posters. Even Daila made a few posters! And Anna and I totally used Janae to get the 3rd grade votes. 3rd, 4th and 5th graders voted, but only 4th and 5th graders could run for office. So Anna and I agreed that not many 4th graders would have a sibling in 3rd grade who could push the votes for them. So we definitely exploited that advantage. And Janae LOVED the status that gave her. lol ;-)Campaigning included a speech which Anna had to deliver in an assembly with all the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. She was the first one to speak! Sheesh! But she was AWESOME! This was a great learning experience for our entire family and the first of many school extra-curricular activities. CONGRATS ANNA!!! We are SO proud!
Somewhere between all that campaigning, Anna got braces. Busy gal. Speaking of busy, Anna and Janae have also started a beginning strings class before school two days a week. It's completely free at this point. Ben and I are really curious to see if the girls will take to a musical instrument. We're excited about the exposure they'll get to music education through opportunities like this violin class.
