Students at SF Public Montessori will practice casting their votes for president on election day, complete with lining up at the 'polling place,' marking a ballot in a private voting booth, and filling out an exit poll so the school can report early results. Their experience will be completed by getting a "Just Voted" sticker. For a few weeks now, students have been discussing our election process and issues, at an age-appropriate level, to prepare for election day.
When: Tuesday, Nov. 8 / 10:00-11:30 a.m.
Where: SF Public Montessori / 2340 Jackson St.
