Vote! Vote! Vote!

How do you teach over 450 middle school students the importance of voting? You hold a full-blown political rally!

With just two weeks to go until election day, Fonda-Fultonville Middle School held its own presidential rally in the high school auditorium on Tuesday, October 21st. This was no routine assembly; the event had all of the pomp and circumstance of an actual rally.

The Middle School 5-8 chorus under the direction of Mrs. Cassidy opened the ceremonies by singing the "Star Spangled Banner." Middle School Principal Beth Donovan welcomed everyone and explained the history and significance of the Pledge of Allegiance. Student Council President Chelsea Jablonski then led everyone in the pledge.

Social Studies teacher Steve Vunk who emceed the program reminded everyone to cheer for their preferred candidates, but that booing was unacceptable. He encouraged everyone to register to vote in the school's mock election to be held on Tuesday, November 4th.
