Grade 9 students at Hernewood participate in Student Vote/Vote Etudiant
Both my grade 9 Social Studies classes (English - 9B and French Immersion as well as Ms. Thomson's and Ms. Dyment's grade 9 Social Studies classes) are participating in their first experience as voters in a Federal Election. The results of this vote will be publicized in the media after the polls for the official election close on Monday, May 2nd. Students will be voting for one of the candidates in the riding of Egmont. We have organized a candidates' forum for Wednesday, April 20th, and students will have a chance to listen to the candidate in the race for Egmont, as well as ask them a few questions.
In preparation for voting days (see dates listed below) we have been learning about the rights and responsibilites of voting, we are publicizing the vote (by distributing posters throughout the school) and encouraging all students to exercise their chance to vote, we are learning about the candidates for Egmont, we have watched part of the Leaders' Debate, and are following the news daily to keep up on the issues of concern.
Egmont Candidates' Forum - Wednesday, April 20th, Period 3
Advance Poll - Wednesday, April 27th (to accomodate Music students on Band trip)
