Election

The second graders completed a unit on the Presidential Election process.  They had some strong opinions about who they felt should be our next President.  They learned a bit about the electoral college and about the two main political parties.  On Tuesday, November 8th the children took part in a mock election hosted by Chris Szpila's fifth grade.  Our students voted and the winner of the Academy School election was Hilary Clinton.

Halloween

 Halloween at Academy School was a lot of fun.  Not only did we have a pumpkin display in the annual pumpkin display contest, but we also participated in the annual parade to Melrose Terrace.  A great time was had by all.  Thank you to the parents who joined us for our parade.
