On November 4th, we will have a mock election in class. There is no school for students on Election Day, November 5th. On Wednesday, November 6th, we will compare actual election results with student election results and analyze the similarities and differences.

You've seen their signs, and have started to receive their mailings. 21 of you attended the League of Women Voter's Meet the Candidates Night. You may know some of these candidates personally. Most likely, you've had a chance to meet them as they've walked the neighborhoods of Aurora campaigning.

This week we'll be posting a bulletin board of other campaign materials for you to review.

==**If you could vote, who would you vote for and why? What local issues are most important to you, and what you you want to see done about them? Please title your post with the name of your candidate, and explain your thinking.**==
