Today, our elementary students had an incredible experience participating in a mock presidential election! 🗳️ This event helped bring the concepts of civic responsibility and democracy to life for our young learners. By voting, they practiced making informed choices and understood the power of their voice in shaping the future. Our school believes in fostering active, thoughtful citizens from an early age—and today’s event was a wonderful way to inspire their interest in the democratic process. It’s never too early to start building the leaders of tomorrow! Thank you to our AIS team for organizing the day and schedule for Prek-5th grade! #FutureVoters #CivicEngagement #LearningByDoing
