🗳️ Empowering Future Voters—Today! This week, our students experienced democracy in action by electing their class officers using official ballots and voting equipment, thanks to the incredible support of the Clay County Supervisor of Elections. This hands-on experience not only brought excitement to our campus but also instilled a deeper understanding of civic responsibility and the electoral process.  By participating in this authentic voting simulation, our students are gaining invaluable insights into the importance of informed voting and active citizenship. We’re proud to cultivate a generation that’s engaged, informed, and ready to make a difference.  A heartfelt thank you to the Supervisor of Elections team and for their dedication to voter education and for making this memorable experience possible. Also, thank you to Mr. Matthew Mitchell for helping to arrange this valuable experience for our students! #StudentLeadership #CivicEngagement #FutureVoters #DemocracyInAction #ClayCountyElections #VoteReady #theclayway
