This is my first diary EVER so please bear with me and please help me with tags if you can.

The other day, an acquaintance posted a concern to Facebook. Our public high school, being led by civic-minded people, has offered students an opportunity to participate in mock elections on Tuesday. At least one teacher in the Social Studies department and the school librarians, with the participation of at least two AP Government students, produced a document to provide our high school students with information about the presidential candidates so they are prepared for the mock elections Tuesday. This document was presented to the students in their first block classes last week and they were encouraged to take the information home and read it to prepare. I will share the document in three pages below the orange whippedy-do.
