Election Talk at Home

Hi Parents,

With the big election coming up (in our country and here at TJS), the excitement is building!!
Here are some tips from scholastic.com about educating your children about the meaning of the presidential election.

1. Involvement is key
2. Stay positive (or at least neutral)
3. Share your own opinions.
4. Encourage questions.
5. Meet and greet (take the opportunity to meet with local candidates if possible)
6. Involve your children in each step of your own voting process.
7. Talk about more than the election.

Students have been working hard on their campaign speeches and will be giving them to other classes next week.  Ask your students to try and convince everyone at home to vote for their candidate!
