Morgan will be going to a new school this year. She will keep her record of not having attended a school for more than 2 years. They are building a new junior high and she will get to go to that school for the 2011-2012 school year. She actually wasn't too excited about it, since it won't have all of the course options she wanted, since it's a new school, and because some of her friends won't be going to the new junior high. However, she is excited now.
She ran for 9th grade office and made it! She is so excited, and ready to get involved in planning lots of fun activities. This school is going to be very technologically advanced. Each student gets their own laptop, in lieu of textbooks, etc. They decided to continue this way of thinking with elections and have the entire campaign be online. Each candidate had to submit a 3 minute video, then it was put on the school website. The students then voted for the candidate they wanted. No posters, buttons, social media, etc. allowed. It was actually a really fun, and much easier way to run a campaign. I thought it was so much more fair, too. If they made it to final elections, then they had interviews with a board, final voting, and that was it.
I tried several times to upload her video, but it will not load. Anyway- she is so excited, and ready to participate in the start up of a new school, and one that even will have air conditioning. :)
