Way to go First Creek Middle School in Tacoma!
Students at this school will be recognized by Secretary Reed at their Veterans’ Day assembly on Nov. 10 for the most student ballots cast of any school participating in our Mock Election.
In all, the First Creek students cast 544 ballots. Nice!
More than 5,300 students grades K-12 participated in the Mock Election, a non-partisan educational exercise that promotes civic awareness in classrooms. Students from schools throughout the state voted online last week on various issues.
Students grades 6 – 12 weighed in on statewide measures I-1033 and R-71 – and the results were very interesting!
The link to the results doesn’t work.
Our First Creek Middle School staff and students are just phenomenal! They have embraced the new school and blended student body (Gault and McIlvaigh) whole-heartedly and are making the Eastside very proud–as well as the rest of the school district.
