As part of an ongoing study of The Constitution and American Civics, the students of the downstairs class modeled and held their own elections.
Elections for the four offices were held on September 26. Matt K. was elected "The Bull" or Class President. Jeremy L. was selected by his peers to serve as the Sergeant-at-Arms (sort of a cross between Vice-President and Sheriff) and Dakota B. was chosen to serve as Quarter-Master. The most contested position was the PATH Academic Liaison (PAL). After a round speeches by the four candidates, the class responded to the sincere and heartfelt comments of Jose C.. Jose explained how he wishes to demonstrate that he can be a responsible and motivated student so that he can return to his home school district.
The following day, during a special ceremony that included the signing of the Downstairs Class Pledge, the officers were sworn into their positions. They will serve in these offices until the end of the marking period.
