Yesterday, East, South, and Hingham Middle School students participated in mock elections, experiencing the voting process firsthand. 🇺🇸
Students from 3rd, 5th, and 8th grades operated replica voting stations, learning about democracy, civic responsibility, and the election process. Real-world experiences like these help students to become active, informed citizens in their communities and beyond.
A big thank you to our dedicated teaching staff for bringing this mock election to life!
